Over a period of half a century the city state of Dubai has progressed from pre-industrial to industrial to post-industrial status. Change is evident in the economic, social and cultural characteristics of the city and, most visibly, in the scale, pace and nature of urban development. This paper identifies the key forces and processes underlying the transformation of Dubai from an insignificant fishing settlement on the Arabian Gulf to a cosmopolitan regionally significant twenty-first century city.
