Palm Jumeirah è un'isola artificiale lungo la costa di Dubai; offre alloggi di lusso ai visitatori e ai proprietari. La Palm ha un approccio distintivo rispetto ai progetti di bonifica e land reclamation realizzati nel corso della storia, approccio orientato alla speculazione immobiliare. Dopo che gli effetti sono diventati evidenti a livello globale, altre città costiere hanno cercato di seguire l'approccio di Dubai. Questa tesi, dopo aver analizzato a fondo il progetto di Dubai, mira a scoprire se e come l'approccio di Dubai è stato utilizzato da altre città nel mondo. La tesi è divisa in cinque capitoli. Nella prima parte, mostra come i progetti di bonifica e land reclamation sono stati usati come dispositivo di crescita urbana e su quali basi è stato applicato nel corso della storia. Successivamente, la seconda parte descrive l'approccio di Dubai. Attraverso il progetto Palm Jumeirah, la tesi esamina come Dubai abbia usato questo strumento nel processo di globalizzazione della propria immagine ed economica. La terza e quarta parte esaminano 6 progetti simili al Palm e cerca di capire come il Palm abbia influenzato il loro modo di progettazione e realizzazione, sia a livello concettuale che reale. Un confronto sistematico di vari aspetti permette di analizzare l'impatto del modello di Palm Jumeirah sulle altre città in via di globalizzazione. La tesi risponde a domande più generali: è possibile applicare lo stesso approccio in culture e aree geografiche diverse? Questo induce risultati simili? Quali sono le similitudini e le differenze? L'ultima parte mostra i risultati delle analisi e comparazioni dei progetti. Descrive gli effetti sull'urbanizzazione delle città emergenti in via di globalizzazione. Per concludere, l'ultima parte fornisce una discussione di come simili modelli siano espressione globale di un nuovo ordine urbano.

Abstract
The Palm Jumeirah is a man-made island located in Dubai that extends into Persian Gulf, offering luxury accommodation to the visitors and home owners. The Palm has a distinctive approach than the previously implemented land reclamation projects throughout the history. After the effects became noticeable globally, other coastal globalizing cities completed projects that are similar to Dubai’s approach. This thesis, after comprehending Dubai's approach thoroughly, aims to find out if the Dubai’s approach were utilized by other globalized cities and how are they affected? The thesis is divided into five chapters. In the first part, it shows how the land reclamation projects were used as an urban growth device and on what basis they were applied throughout the history. After that, second part describes the Dubai's land reclamation approach. Through the Palm Jumeirah project, the thesis examines how Dubai used this tool in the globalization period and how it achieved global acknowledgement. The third and fourth parts examines projects that were considered as similar to the Palm and try to understand how the Palm affected their way of application, both conceptually and physically. Flowingly, I will compare the projects and analyze the impact of Palm Jumeirah approach on the other globalizing. Moreover, I tried to answer the following questions: Can the same approach be applied in different cultures and geographies? Can it provide the same outcomes? What are the similarities and differences? Last part shows the results of these commercial land reclamation projects. It describes the effects on urbanization of emerging globalizing cities.
