Dubai has announced an exciting new mega-project that promises to make the city home to "the world's greenest highway." The "Dubai Green Spine" project is set to transform Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Road into a 64-kilometer-long sustainable corridor, aligning perfectly with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan.
This ambitious initiative aims to create a 20-minute city, where residents can reach any destination by foot or bicycle within 20 minutes. Central to the project is an extensive solar-powered tram system that will connect neighborhoods from Muhaisnah to Dubai Industrial City.
With an estimated cost of over AED 36 billion , the Dubai Green Spine will feature over a million trees, urban farms, and gardens, promoting sustainable living and enhancing the city’s green footprint. The project, spearheaded by urban planning and development firm URB, will redefine the E311 road by integrating a non-motorized public transportation system to significantly reduce Dubai's carbon footprint.
The Green Spine aims to enhance connectivity across Dubai, ensuring smoother and faster commutes while reducing the dependence on cars, thus lowering traffic congestion and emissions. But it’s more than just a transit pathway; it’s a comprehensive approach to urban living.
The Green Spine will incorporate extensive green spaces to improve air quality, featuring native flora to help regulate urban temperatures and provide cooler, cleaner air. It will also introduce agricultural initiatives like vertical farms, allowing residents to grow their own food.
Energy-efficient buildings and a real-time traffic management system will optimize traffic flow, while solar panels integrated into the architecture will power the tram system. Pedestrian paths, cycling tracks, and electric tram lines will ensure seamless and eco-friendly transportation, promoting physical activity among residents.
The project will include various community-centric spaces, from playgrounds and outdoor fitness areas to gardens and more, fostering a vibrant community spirit.
Economically, the Dubai Green Spine is expected to boost Dubai's economy by creating job opportunities across multiple sectors. This initiative is not just about infrastructure; it’s about building a sustainable, thriving community for the future.
