This One NASA GIF Shows Exactly Much Dubai Has Changed In The Last 34 Years
We all know Dubai has undergone one helluva’ transformation throughout the last few decades, but these images from space are the ultimate proof.
Released by NASA, this Gif shows the growth between 1984-2017.
Watch how the moving gif alters from blank desert canvas, to show the artificial land reclaimed by Dubai and sprawling developments.
The study of cities from above is provided by Nasa’s Landsat programme, which has been collecting satellite imagery since 1972.
In 34 years, the population has jumped from 350,000 to three million
.@Forbes: Images released by NASA show how much #Dubai has changed in 34 years. From 1984-2017 the city has grown from 350,000 people to just over 3m people. With its growth, you can see just how much Dubai has altered their coastline, adding artificial land, buildings, & ports. pic.twitter.com/WViqZrtsbp
