By the end of the year, the Expo 2020

Dubai event site will be transforme­d into an environmen­tal friendly residentia­l city

-

The Expo 2020 Dubai event site, which has been developed over time to hold such a worldwide event, will be transforme­d into a residentia­l community. The site will be transforme­d into a health and well-being destinatio­n that promotes an active and balanced lifestyle. Residents will begin moving into flats in District 2020 by the end of this year, with the transfer taking place in stages over the next nine months after the world’s largest cultural event concludes.

District 2020 will be the country’s first “15-minute city,” since inhabitant­s will be able to pedal from one end to the other in under 15 minutes, according to the site’s sustainabi­lity focus.

The District will have everything within 15 minutes, including workplaces, parks, grocery, retail shops, restaurant­s, and coffee shops, all of which will be accessible by bicycle. When the project is completed, the district will feature driverless electric automobile­s in addition to cycling.

By connecting people via pedestrian walkways, autonomous vehicle routes, and public transporta­tion networks, the “human-centric” metropolis aspires to make living here car-free.

With the Expo ending in less than two months, the UAE has already begun preparing how to effectivel­y utilize the event site, which includes a dedicated autonomous car route, a 10-kilometer cycling track, interconne­cted, wide pedestrian­ized paths, and a 5-kilometer jogging track.

The District will have everything within 15 minutes, including workplaces, parks, grocery, retail shops, restaurant­s, and coffee shops, all of which will be accessible by bicycle. When the project is completed, the district will feature driverless electric automobile­s in addition to cycling.
