50U is a book about the United Arab Emirates, the UAE. It was published on the occasion of the UAE's golden jubilee: 50 years ago - December 2, 1971 - the confederation of seven Gulf states was officially declared.
'50U' tells the story of the seven Gulf states in 50 portraits of people, plants, and places. Designed by Irma Boom, the book paints an intimate picture of life in the Emirates through the memories, hopes, and ambitions of its inhabitants. Over a period of just half a century, they have witnessed the transformation of a partly nomadic, partly urbanized community into a metropolitan and globally active society, from open desert to high-rise buildings. Numerous interviews with people from all walks of life give a first-hand impression of what it has been like to grow up or settle in the region.
In 50 years Country has transformed from desert to high-rise building that pierce the clouds. We have gone from a handful of nationalities to over 250 nationalities. We have jumped from Industrial stage in growth to sector diversification, nuclear power for sustainable solutions and selling start-ups to big companies. There is almost a story in every sector and industry to tell of the past 50 years.
