Mike Davis cites the article on Dubai by George Katodrytis (2006)

Los Angeles author Mike Davis in his essay “Fear and Money in Dubai” cites George Katodrytis in his article “Metropolitan Dubai and the Rise of Architectural Fantasy”: “And its owners love it when architects and urbanists, like George Katodrytis, anoint it as the cutting edge: Dubai is a prototype of the new post-global city, which creates appetites rather than solves problems . . . If Rome was the ‘Eternal City’ and New York’s Manhattan the apotheosis of twentieth-century congested urbanism, then Dubai may be considered the emerging prototype for the 21st century: prosthetic and nomadic oases presented as isolated cities that extend out over the land and sea.”
