Masterplans get green light
01 April 2009
ABU DHABI’S Urban Planning Council (UPC) has approved three masterplans, slated to transform the UAE capital into the sustainable Arab capital and a major international hub.
The details of the three masterplans – which include the Capital District Concept Plan, Khalifa B Masterplan and Shahama and Bahia Revitalisation Plan – will be unveiled at the upcoming 2009 edition of Cityscape Abu Dhabi (April 19 to 22).
The Capital District Concept Plan aims for the development of a sustainable, mixed-use city of 370,000 residents.
The Khalifa B Masterplan consists of three components that include quality public spaces and community facilities, a new mixed-use area, and a high-quality neighbourhood that integrates into existing neighbourhood and caters to residents’ needs.
And the Revitalisation Plan covers the communities of Shahama and Bahia along the Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway.
