A possible shape of things to come.

The negative take:
" Nicolai Ouroussoff opined in The New York Times that Masdar is the culmination of the gated community concept: "the crystallization of another global phenomenon: the growing division of the world into refined, high-end enclaves and vast formless ghettos where issues like sustainability have little immediate relevance." ibid

My take: Probably Nicolai, given the currently probable world lines. Perhaps it could be the set for the corporate community compound, if they ever do a film version of Oryx & Crake :)
But hey, i said "hopeful". Another view, of the same ideas, but generally, for everyone.
