Dubai has changed drastically over the last few decades. In the 1980s, the UAE city’s population was about 370,000 and its shoreline was mostly natural with some man-made harbors. As of 2020, 3.4 million people live in Dubai and many artificial islands were built along the shore. The 28th UN Climate Change conference (COP 28) is currently being hosted in Dubai, and will conclude December 12.
