The World in Dubai is Sinking

This post from almost five years ago, Dubai's Architectural Wonders, is still one of the most popular ones on this blog. Now inhabitat reports Dubai’s World of Islands is Sinking Into the Sea. "However as of late the emirate's blustery building pace has lost its muster, and the latest megaproject to go south is The World, an archipelago of manmade islands modeled after the seven continents that seems to have sprung a leak. We first covered the world-shaped chain of islands several years ago, and now the crumbling series of ill-fated isles is sinking like Atlantis into the sea."
