不论是出于缓解陆地资源紧张的目的,还是为了圆一个浪漫的梦,到海洋上居住,在大海上建岛筑城业已成为21世纪的一个全新选择。阿拉伯联合酋长国的迪拜正在实施的棕榈岛和“世界地图”计划就是一个生动的典范。到2009年,从高空俯瞰迪拜,依稀可见几棵巨大的棕榈树漂浮在蔚蓝色的海面上。细看棕榈树,会发现它竟是由一些错落有致、大小不一的岛屿组成。更令人惊叹不已的是由300个岛屿勾勒出的竟是一幅世界地图。 Whether it is for the purpose of alleviating the shortage of terrestrial resources or for a romantic dream, to live on the sea and build an island on the sea has become a brand new choice in the 21st century. Dubai is being implemented in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and the “World Map” program is a vivid example. By 2009, overlooking the Dubai from high altitude, you can see a few huge palm trees floating in the blue sea. Look at the palm tree, you will find it actually by a number of patchwork, the size of the island. What is even more amazing is that a map of the world is sketched out by 300 islands.
