How about: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=miami&sll=-27.940427,153.40416&sspn=0.285105,0.431213&gl=us&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Miami,+Miami-Dade,+Florida&ll=25.925937,-80.003815&spn=1.160963,1.724854&z=10 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&#38... Also bear in mind the relative populations of New York, Beijing and Dubai. No surprise Dubai looks "tiny". Not that I'm standing up for Dubai - I didn't like it at all when I went there and it has some very serious problems. I think the demographics don't match the form of the city very well - the city is too large and the buildings are too grand to match the people who are actually there (who are mostly construction workers it seems).

miami is freaking huge. I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make about it. also, it's more than just Miami -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Florida_metropolitan_area http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Florida_metropolitan_area

  I interpreted the comment that I replied to to mean that Dubai being a strip along the coastline meant that it didn't look like a real city. I would say that it's probably more of an indicator that it's got nice beaches than anything else. Miami was the first strip like city that sprung to mind as a counterexample, but as you say, it is huge, so it probably wasn't the best comparison.
