Dubai's Green Revolution: Is the World's Greenest Highway on the Horizon?

Dubai, a city synonymous with innovation and audacious projects, has unveiled plans for the "Dubai Green Spine" - an ambitious project aiming to transform Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) into the world's greenest highway.

This 64-kilometer sustainable corridor, designed by URB, aligns perfectly with Dubai's 2040 Urban Master Plan.

Here's what makes this project a game-changer:

Greening the Concrete Jungle

Imagine a highway lined with over a million trees and flourishing urban farms. The Green Spine plans to incorporate extensive green spaces, promoting biodiversity and improving air quality for Dubai's nearly eight million residents.

Solar Power Takes the Wheel

The project envisions a 100% renewable energy powered infrastructure, with a solar-powered tram system zipping along the route. This will significantly reduce the city's carbon footprint and encourage a shift towards sustainable transportation.

A 20-Minute City Takes Shape

The Green Spine is more than just a highway; it's a step towards Dubai's goal of becoming a "20-minute city." By integrating pedestrian and cycling paths alongside the tram system, residents can access most areas within a 20-minute walk or bike ride, fostering a healthier and more vibrant urban environment.

Beyond Commuting

This project's vision extends beyond transportation. Plans include incorporating vertical farms, encouraging residents to grow their own food and promoting a more self-sufficient and sustainable lifestyle.

The Dubai Green Spine is still in the concept stage, but it holds immense promise. With an estimated cost of over Dhs36 billion, this project signifies Dubai's commitment to a greener future. It has the potential to revolutionize urban planning, not just in Dubai, but around the world.
