Summary:

Saadiyat Island is a "dreamscape" created by Tourism Development & Investment Company just half a kilometer from downtown Abu Dhabi. It is an amalgam of luxury residential areas, 5-star resorts and golf courses crowned by a Cultural District containing a hallucinatory collection of museums designed by five Pritzker Prize winners. Is this the future of private development? Presented by Rachel Keeton, author of Rising in the East: Contemporary New Towns in Asia and project leader of the "New Towns: Africa program" at the International New Town Institute.
