In terms of infrastructure, NY is far ahead than Dxb. NY has a great public transport which Dxb doesnt have. There are beautiful buses in Dxb but they fail to keep their schedules. NY has an underground metro since a longtime whereas Dxb will have it by 2011 end.
Dubai is not original in its architectural style. It is following New York and HongKong in terms of infrastructure. NY has given the best buildings to the world like Chrysler Building, The Empire State Building and the Twin Towers. All these building represented a modern thinking and a new culture. Dxb has only one original masterpeice, The Burj Al Arab.
NY has a great park in the center of its business district. Dxb has no good park anywhere.
Hence NY is more modern. Dxb cannot be compared to cities like KL, Singapore, HK or Sydney also as Dxb lacks originality. But it is the best city in the entire GCC region.

If you are comparing the skylines then yes...Dubai is definitely vying for the Disneyland title of "Tomorrowland" the downside is...it has no soul...everyone you meet is from somewhere else...nothing is old, there is no patina, its all about making money, and being the best....traffic is congested...you go to one of the many state of the art shopping centres and apart from tourists and expats they are empty....who can afford the prices? whereas New York, has soul, has class, which you can't buy..or build in smoke and mirrors...the buildings tell stories all of their own...so to answer Simply yes Modern Dubai...but No class...
