Located on the outskirts of Dubai, the Sustainable City spans 46 hectares and houses over 2,700 residents in energy-efficient villas powered by rooftop solar panels.The development recycles 100 % of its wastewater, composts organic waste, and produces fresh vegetables in on-site biodomes.

Car use is limited to the periphery — within the city, residents walk, cycle, or use electric buggies.A smart irrigation system powered by treated greywater sustains the green spaces that cover nearly 60 % of the area.

Buildings are constructed from low-carbon materials and designed for passive cooling, cutting energy demand by more than 40 %.Community centers, schools, and innovation hubs focus on environmental education and green entrepreneurship.

More than an urban experiment, Dubai Sustainable City is a commercial success — with high occupancy, positive energy balance, and global recognition as one of the first viable net-zero communities in the Middle East.It demonstrates that sustainability can be scalable, profitable, and aspirational all at once.
