Many cities want to create clusters, but there are few examples of building them successfully from scratch. An interesting experiment (which Singapore, among others, started watching anxiously) was undertaken in Dubai, which poured billions of dollars of the Emirates’ oil money into the city to try to create clusters like biotechnology research. But such artificial attempts, requiring massive amounts of money, always run the risk of creating distortions and bubbles, and the Dubai experiment ran into some trouble after the Emirates’ state-backed companies ended up with more debt than they could handle.
