Dubai has announced an exciting new project to transform Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) into the 'Dubai Green Spine,' a 64-kilometre-long sustainable corridor. This groundbreaking initiative, led by URB and developed by its research arm, EPIC Lab, is part of the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. It aims to revolutionise urban mobility, enhance environmental standards, and accommodate Dubai’s growing population.
Features of the E311 Sustainable Corridor
The Dubai Green Spine will feature 100% solar-powered trams, backed by a 300-megawatt solar energy system. This clean energy initiative is crucial for reducing the city's carbon footprint and encouraging sustainable transportation modes.
The project also focuses on enhancing community and biodiversity through extensive green spaces with diverse habitats. These areas are not only designed to beautify the urban landscape but also play vital roles in environmental health and community well-being. Connected by extensive pedestrian and cycling paths, these spaces will significantly improve walkability.
The Dubai Green Spine project represents a revolutionary model of urban design and environmental sustainability, transforming both mobility and lifestyle. This groundbreaking initiative not only redefines urban mobility but also enhances urban life, setting a new global standard for sustainable urban mobility and living, and paving the way for future cities.
