UAE’s Vice-President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, announced the Expo 2020 transformation plan earlier this month.
Following his line, Ahmed Al-Khatib, Chief Development, and Delivery Officer at Expo 2020 Dubai also shared that Expo City Dubai would be fully pedestrianized and cars would not be permitted, since tenants would have soft mobility options available to them.
So, here’s all you need to know about Expo City Dubai to keep up with sustainable innovations in Dubai.
Fully Pedestrianised and Car-Free
The Expo City Dubai is going to be an absolutely car-free and fully pedestrianized property in Dubai. Residents and visitors can seamlessly travel within this extravagantly beautiful property using soft mobility options such as buggies, bicycles, and scooters instead of cars and heavy vehicles.
The Expo team is consistently reviewing the plan to make it as sustainable as possible. With an aim to ensure all needs of residents are conveniently met by this futuristic property, they will encourage public transportation options such as the integration of a metro station. A new parking strategy is also being devised to offer a hassle-free traveling experience to all residents and tenants at this popular tourist property in Dubai.
Major Overhaul To Dubai’s Legacy Plan
The site of Expo 2020 Dubai will be rebranded as Expo City Dubai following a major overhaul to the legacy plan of Dubai. It will play an integral role in Dubai 2040’s master plan. As one of the five urban centers identified in the master plan, the green urban planning blueprint will be calculatedly located between Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Repurpose & Retention Of Expo Site Pavilions
From repurposing and retention of 120 LEED-certified buildings to 80 percent of the Expo-built infrastructure, this upcoming branded property in Dubai and Abu Dhabi will epitomize the soaring levels of construction, infrastructure, and sustainable designs.
Many cultural and social attractions of Expo 2020 Dubai such as the UAE pavilion, Saudi Arabia pavilion, Morocco pavilion, India pavilion, Pakistan pavilion, Egypt pavilion, and Luxembourg Pavilion will continue to be a focal point among other pavilions.
A pivotal role in Dubai’s evolution will be played by this urban community in Dubai. In addition to exciting attractions, Expo City Dubai will also feature office properties for rent, leisure properties, food and entertainment venues, Expo City Dubai retail properties, and exercise grounds. Moreover, it will remain a top-notch destination for visitors and one of the best tourist spots in Dubai.
Futuristic, Human-Centric, & Free Of Single-Use Plastic
Expo City Dubai will carry forward the legacy of sustainable properties in Dubai. Driven by innovation and built around sustainability principles, this elite property in Dubai will be a futuristic and human-centric smart city completely free of single-use plastic.
Positive Impact On Health & Wellness
As the first well-certified community between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Expo City Dubai aims to have a positive impact on the health as well as wellness of the visitors and tenants over here. Prioritizing their health, the Chief Development and Delivery Officer at the Expo 2020 Dubai, Ahmed Al-Khatib, has recently opened up about the launch of 10 km long cycling tracks, 5 km long running tracks, and over 45,000 sqm of gardens and parks at the Expo City Dubai.

According to Sholto Douglas-Home, head of marketing, communications, and sales at Dubai Expo 2020, every attraction property in Expo City will have its own price.
