In 2006, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown
Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Executive Council,
requisitioned the Executive Affairs Authority to initiate Plan Abu
Dhabi 2030 (Plan 2030), a monumental urban planning initiative. Its
purpose was to deliver upon the vision of His Highness Sheikh
Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, Ruler of Abu
Dhabi for the continued growth of Abu Dhabi as a global capital
city and for the future growth of the whole of the Emirate of Abu
Dhabi as envisaged by the Late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al
Nahyan.
The heart of Capital District consists of a radial pattern of
streets surrounds a central monumental space. From this point, a
series of seven grand boulevards, representing the seven emirates,
connect the symbolic center with surrounding districts. Along
primary boulevards and at gateways to the city, monuments and
public spaces will reinforce the cityâs ceremonial and symbolic
function. The creation of distinct districts and national
institutions connected by grand boulevards, walk-able streets and
monumental spaces will symbolically link national government, city
life and Emirati culture. It will also become a center of learning
and excellence. A world-class transportation system will connect
neighborhoods within the Capital District and connect the city to
the wider region. An extensive public transit network will
alleviate traffic congestion and reduce reliance on the
automobile.
With an area of forty-five square kilometers, and a projected
population of three hundred and seventy thousand residents, the
Capital District is one of the most ambitious urban development
projects being planned in the United Arab Emirates.
The Emirate of Abu Dhabi has formally put the concept of
sustainability at the center of Plan ABU Dhabi 2030 and advanced
its role as a leader in the attempt to make the region one which is
committed to a sustainable future. This plan contains an entirely
new urban core called Capital District, which has the objective to
âCreate an attractive/livable and sustainable managed urban
environment in which all necessary services and infrastructure are
providedâ[1]The Capital District Master Plan also envisions 26
million square meters of developable area including 33 million
square meters of gross floor area (âGFAâ) of which 6% is
residential and 12% is office. In addition 6% of the land will
remain open space (270 hectares or 667 acres). 15 million square
meters of roads (1500 hectares or 3706 acres) including right of
way is also planned. The Capital District Master Plan outlines six
development precincts connected by a strong emphasis on public
transportation and pedestrian connections.The Capital District is
planned as a sustainable, compact, mixed-use city, comprised of
high density transit orientated communities. A central driver
behind the vision is the symbolic relationship between land use and
transportation in the creation of high quality, attractive district
and neighborhood centers, vibrant streets and public spaces, with
well planned cultural and community facilities. It will be the new
seat of national government and house a diplomatic and embassy
neighborhood. It will also serve as the city of Abu Dhabiâs
second business district, providing over one hundred thousand jobs
in a dynamic mixed-use urban core. The new city will also be a
leader in environmental sustainability, with requirements for the
use of highly energy efficient building structures and
