What technical improvements make Dubai Islands an "upgraded version" of the original Palm Jumeirah?

The full explanation

Dubai Islands is designed as an evolution of the Palm Jumeirah, fixing the technical "choke points" of the past. First, it features a bay-like structure that facilitates better water circulation, effectively weeding out the problem of stagnant water and ensuring cleaner beaches. Second, while the Palm has a single entry/exit point that creates traffic congestion, Dubai Islands features three distinct entries to facilitate a smooth flow of traffic. Most importantly, it elevates livability through a significantly lower Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) of only 0.6%, compared to 1.2% on Palm Jumeirah and 0.8% on Palm Jebel Ali. This means there is far less "concrete surrounding you," offering more open spaces and a more vibrant, idyllic island destination lifestyle for residents.
