If you are passionate about urban planning, place making, public realm - Middle East gives unprecedented opportunities. 

There are many places in the world where design remains on papers for years due to many reasons such as inappropriate funding, legal tangles, etc, in Middle East the physical realisation is quite fast as the intent to develop is very intense.

It is a great place to practice.
