“Dubai has unveiled plans to build the largest mall and biggest indoor theme park in what will be the first temperature-controlled mini-city. The 8-million-square-foot shopping center, dubbed Mall of the World, will include 100 hotels, a medical resort, event facilities, and a theater district—all of which can be shielded from the elements by a large retractable roof. The developer also wants to cash in on the growing medical tourism industry, which counts an estimated 750,000 people a year from the U.S. alone. The Mall of the World will have a 3 million-square-foot health-care complex providing specialized surgery and cosmetic procedures.”
