Cityscape 2007 highlights

It's already the biggest property show in the world, and this year's exhibition got even bigger.

Cityscape 2007 has smashed all previous attendance records, with 45,000 participants from 120 countries across three days locked in real estate chat at Dubai's own International Convention and Exhibition Centre. Thousands of regional and international investors, property developers, governmental and development authorities, leading architects, designers, consultants and industry professionals from around the globe witnessed the unveiling of some of the world's most spectacular residential and commercial property projects over 72 hours.

Of course the big-dollar deals took all the glory. Everyone was expecting one of the big three Dubai government-backed property giants to announce a multi-billion dollar development, and this year was Dubai Properties' turn.
