Doha is the capital of Qatar, and it is the country's economic and cultural center. It has a population of about 990,000 people which is about eighty percent of the entire country's population. I don't know why the other twenty percent aren't living there, but it's their choice. I think its also because it would have looked very bad it one hundred percent of a nation's population resided within one city, and that city's population did not even cross the two million mark. If that was the case, then Qatar itself should have just been absorbed into another nation, possibly the United Arab Emirates, and Doha could have just been another city there. But then again, I can see some competition between the two separate nations. Useless and materialistic competition that involves numerous skyscrapers and mansions and the nicest cars in the streets. Doha is very similar to Dubai in that sense, however it's not as much as Dubai, yet; the race still goes on. And I wouldn't say that's it is more modest than Dubai, but that it just had a late start in the race.
Nonetheless, Doha has an impressive skyline. Don't get me wrong here, I like modern cities, however the case is different when it comes to these cities in particular because of other reasons I previously mentioned so there's no need for me to repeat them. So I'll just put my opinion in the city itself and leave the intentions of the build up out of it for the time being.
In fact, there's nothing much to say about Doha because everything I mentioned in the post titled "Qatar" can be applied to Doha. The only difference is Doha can be elaborated upon, skyline and smaller population and such, however who would care for that? An individual would make the connection instantly when he known it's a small country, small population, large amounts of oil, and no taxes. Hmmm, sounds very familiar, especially when it's surrounded by the numerous other cities exactly like it. In fact, there's no reason for me to post a photo of the city, just imagine a lot of tall buildings, possibly empty, and some nice cars except the plates are "Qatar" and you have got yourself Doha.
