Excellent- More about Shipping and Development in Dubai: Infrastructure, Innovation and Institutions in the Gulf
Dubai's transformation from a small town to a major trading, commercial, leisure, and transport hub is attributed to its investment in infrastructure in the 1970s, which enabled it to out-compete regional rivals. The book fills a lacuna in the history of Dubai's development by providing insights into its creation and expansion.

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Dubai, a small town on a sandy creek half a century ago, has emerged as the largest trading, commercial, leisure, and transport entrepot in the Gulf and wider region. This book delves into the reasons behind Dubai's remarkable transformation, attributing its growth to a strategic decision in the 1970s to invest in infrastructure facilitated by shipping containerization. It demonstrates that Dubai's unique development trajectory set it apart from its competitors, relying on the creation and expansion of ports and airports, along with value-added logistics and business-friendly enhancements, to out-compete regional rivals. Drawing on a diverse range of primary and secondary sources, including interviews with logistics business-people, government records, memoirs, and more, this book fills a significant gap in the history of Dubai's development and emergence as a global trade hub.
