world’s greenest highway - Dubai

🚗 This 64-kilometre #new #transport route in #Dubai aims to become the “world’s greenest🌿 highway”. Designed by URB (#urbplanning), the Dubai Green Spine will turn the existing Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Road (E311) into a “sustainable corridor” complete with #electric# trams, #cycling and #pedestrian routes, #solar #panels integrated into tram trackways and more than a million new trees.

⭐️ Adopting the #principles of Dubai’s 20-minute city #initiative, the re-imagined artery will include vertical farms, community #allotments and #sustainable urban drainage systems along its path. It will also feature #educational and #cultural #facilities serving as hubs for community engagement and learning, a move that #URB #believes will help make the route a central, integrative urban feature.

The #project aligns with the Dubai 2040 #Urban #Master #Plan that sets a vision for how the city can #sustainably grow in the next 16 years.👀

🎺 In a #statement, URB said it #hopes that its #design will help “foster a shift from car-dependent to more sustainable modes of transport.”🤌
