It is already a world city, having developed in an incredibly short time from virtually no more than a desert village when i was first there. It is safe and welcoming, and has an amazing cross section of the world's population there, who largely live in complete harmony.
Sadly it has been recently hit by a huge economic downturn, inevitable as it got over hyped and over-extended, but in a year or two it will recover. The Sheikhs there are true visionaries.

Your welcome, there are so many amazing projects being built there filled with symbolism, I read that 25% of the cranes in operation in the world are in Dubai.
