Dubai's 2040 Master Plan

👉👉 https://bit.ly/31R197c 👈👈

Dubai wants to become one of the world's most livable cities by 2040. The only problem right now is that it's a bit of a mess.

Highways cut through neighborhoods there's not much public transportation.

mega projects are disconnected from critical infrastructure

while man-made islands are sinking

Many of the cities harshest critics say that it is just a series of pretty postcard attractions connected by highways.

To sort out this issue, there is a new plan to properly urbanize this desert city by 2040. The only problem is whether it's possible to fix Dubai.

The question everyone is asking right now is "What will Dubai look like in 2040?"

It's getting to be pretty familiar sight in Dubai with leaders gathering for announcements of another amazing project. The Burj Khalifa getting lit up with dazzling LEDs and fireworks. The media is being flooded with glossy renderings and positive affirmations about the people-centric urban plans.

This project is very different from the ones before. It might not be the tallest building or equate to something world-changing. But, a new idea could fundamentally change Dubai for the better.

The 2040 master plan will see three existing areas redeveloped into new city centers

two completely new city-centres and brand-new finance and technology districts to boost innovation and invention.

Eight million square meters of green corridors and pedestrian/cyclist pathways will be planned costing estimated $680 million. The goal is to make a neighborhood into an attractive place with its own mini-city feel. As they're centrally located, it will be easy to access them and have lots of options nearby. Within close proximity, residents will have their own commercial center and recreational space.

It will all come together with a new public transport network. It's going to be within 800 metres of half the population.

The people will never be more than about half a mile away from the nearest public transit hub, which would effectively make the entire city walkable.

to improve critical education and healthcare facilities, the infrastructure will expand by 25%. 60% of The Emirates will be providing a safeguard for nature reserves and wildlife sanctuaries. this is a seriously impressive contribution to improving the quality of life for human beings.

when you think about it, it makes sense that all functioning international cities would have public transport, green spaces and financial hubs. Yes, Dubai is different. It was never really built for those things.

Dubai is well-positioned in the world and it's natural that it would make a great aviation center. With European, Asian and African airlines all nearby, Dubai International quickly became one of the busiest international airport in the world.

The government has had to find a new source of income without high taxes and diminishing oil supplies. They quickly discovered, however, that tourism can be an attractive prospect. The country can draw in tourist with their incredible mega projects.

And this is where Dubai's build it and they will come idea originated from.

There are a lot of reasons in favour of the 2040 plan and one can see why it is so crucial. Furthermore, Dubai's population is set to exceed that of Singapore by 2040, which only reinforces the plan's importance. Nevertheless, one can't help but worry if it will indeed be enough to reach the city’s goal.

for the 2040 plan to work, the city will need to acknowledge and accept that dedicated green space actually helps make a much better quality of life for the citizens. The benefits of the green spaces are instrumental in making the plan work. As long as there is an almost complete change in thinking, then this can be achieved.

With the success of Dubai's current strategy, it is incredibly tough for them to shift.
