Scope of Work:
Develop 20-minute city in Dubai.
Description:
Dubai has approved a plan to support the 20-minute city concept by developing land close to metro stations. The emirate’s executive council gave the green light to a plan to develop areas around metro stations by incentivising developers. The move will provide additional services, support the 20-minute city concept, increase the number of Metro users, and boost sustainability and quality of life in Dubai.
The 20-minute city is the idea that everything you need is no more than a 20-minute walk away – including shopping and work, with the aim of creating more integrated communities. The plans include increasing the share of public transport to 45 percent, reducing carbon emissions to 16 tonnes per capita, improving the quality of public spaces to encourage walking and increasing shaded areas.
It also aims to boost populations around stations, enhance the diversity of residential, commercial, office, and service spaces around the metro and increase economic spaces. The scope of the metro station area development plan will expand from 64 stations currently operating over 84sq km to 96 stations over 140sq km by 2030. It aims to cover 140 stations over 228sq km by 2040.
