Abstract
This research paper investigates the multifaceted effects of urbanization and tourism promotion on urban landscapes and consumer behaviors, with a concentrated case study on the Emirate of Dubai. The study explores the rapid urban development of Dubai, examining its impact on physical infrastructure, ecological environments, and socio-economic structures. Additionally, it analyzes how urbanization and tourism promotion influence consumer behaviors, including lifestyle choices, social interactions, and technological adoption. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic interplay between urbanization, tourism, and urban living in one of the world's fastest-growing cities.
