The Sustainable City is a 46-hectare property development in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Situated on the Al Qudra Road, it is the first net-zero energy development in the Emirate of Dubai. The masterplans amalgamate green, energy efficient designs with a people-centric philosophy that includes nature and animals thus ameliorating public space. The development includes 500 villas, 89 apartments and a mixed-use area consisting of offices, retail, healthcare facilities, a nursery and food and beverage outlets. Phase 2 of the development will include a hotel, school and innovation centre.[1]
The city was developed by Dubai-based Diamond Developers, whose chairman, Faris Saeed, has stated that much of his inspiration for the development came from UC Davis West Village.[2]
Key elements of the City include:[3]
- a residential area of 500 townhouses and courtyard villas inspired by Dubai's old Bastakiya district
- 11 natural ‘biodome’ greenhouses, organic farm and individual garden farms for local food production that use a passive cooling method with fans and pads.
- 10 MW peak solar production
- waste water recycling, with segregated drainage for greywater and blackwater using papyrus as a biofilter
- biking and shaded jogging trails
- charging stations for electric cars
- an equestrian centre
- A sustainable school (Fairgreen International School)
- An autism center (Sanad Village)
- Short stay holiday homes (The Sustainable Homes)
- SEE Institute
Apart from periphery roads and car parking areas, the development is a car-free site.[4]
The parking areas are topped by solar shading featuring solar panels that are connected to an electrical grid to supply energy into different sections of the city.[5]
Panels are also placed on the roofs of all of the houses.[citation needed] The construction waste is reused to furnish the public spaces.[citation needed] The townhouses have UV reflective paint to reduce the thermal heat gain inside the houses.[citation needed]
