One Island - One House

Off the coast of Dubai there's an archipelago of artificial islands, shaped like the continents of the Earth. Together, the islands are called 'The World.' The project is inspired by the artificial Palm Islands also being built in Dubai. The World will consist of 250 to 300 smaller private artificial islands. The entire project is slated for completion in 2008.

At the moment there's only one island occupied.
