Rapid Development in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi was a simple city before they discovery of oil but now it becomes one of the most famous cities in the world. These days there are a lot of buildings, cars and factories. This essay will examine the causes of the rapid development in Abu Dhabi and look at some of the effects.


In the past Abu Dhabi didn’t have a strong economy but after they discovered oil every thing changed. The number of cars and buildings after that discovery increased rapidly and the economy became stronger. Also the number of factories increased because if the country has the main part which is oil it can create or make many different materials and import them to different countries. On the other hand no benefit from a strong economy if the country doesn’t have a good leader. In Abu Dhabi there was Al Sheikh Zayed who did a lot of thing for his country and his city specially. He used the money which got it from oil outcome to develop his country by building many schools, hospitals, stations and many other buildings.



There are several effects for rapid development of Abu Dhabi. First point that is sand changed to green ground because in these days the government looks at plants and they try to increase them in Abu Dhabi city. Also the numbers of jobs increase every day because of that development. This development changes the climate so we feel these days the weather is not like before for example in these days the cold continued for seven months. The Infrastructure of Abu Dhabi city becomes better than 30 years ago.


On the other hand this development has many negative consequences for the city. The first point that when the numbers of cars and factories increasing at the same time the amount of emissions increase. Also this development day after day removes our traditions and in the same time maybe our culture. There is an important issue which is this development and the increasing of cars numbers due to traffic congestion in the roads.


Any development in the world has two faces one is positive and the other is negative. In my opinion we can make any development be positive 100% by facing the negatives and try to fix or solve them. If Abu Dhabi keep this work it will be one of the most important cities in the world.
