Sports City - A Look Around Sep 2010

[Lase_]

You guys havn't installed the video embed tags yet I see (If you need any help with that let me know) which is a shame.

But I came across this video of what Sports City looked like in Sep 2010. A guy has a camera mounted on his dash and he takes a quick drive around :

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6xJWDqoNzo]YouTube - Dubai Sports City[/ame]

Can you tell me what I'm looking at though please? (It's been 5 years since I was last in Dubai) Am I looking at a development which has been mothballed? ie, should there normally be a lot more activity with regards construction, but because of the slow down not much is happening at all? as we can see from the video.

Thanks.

Edit - Oh, it won't let me post links either. Obviously copy and paste the text to the corresponding section of URL in an existing Youtube video.... cumbersome.
