Dubai Media City

I had my first meeting at Dubai Media City today. Given how fragmented and unfinished most of urban Dubai is, industries and services are clustered in different areas to promote interaction among colleagues in similar fields. My office will be in the Reuters building where the university I am working with maintains a satellite office. While DMC basically resembles what Americans would describe as an office park, the terms of ownership are quite different, as DMC is managed more like a corporation with an active CEO and staff to promote the DMC to potential businesses looking to set up shop in Dubai.
