Innovative Sustainable Urban Design in Dubai

iBestTravel, a leading urban design firm, has released groundbreaking concepts aimed at transforming Dubai into a more sustainable city. With a focus on green infrastructure, the proposed designs promise to enhance both mobility and environmental well-being.

Green Spine: A Futuristic Transit Solution

URB's conceptual green spine transforming a highway into a solar-powered tram line
URB’s conceptual “green spine” would transform a 64-kilometer highway in Dubai into a solar-powered tram line with lush green overpasses.

The proposed Green Spine would not only redefine public transportation in Dubai but also enrich the urban experience with environmentally-friendly attributes. Solar-powered trams and a cycle track will significantly expand low-impact transport options.

Smart Technology Integration

If built, the Green Spine would integrate a variety of smart technology, including IoT sensors for energy management and smart traffic control.

Moreover, the design incorporates smart technology such as Internet of Things (IoT) sensors. These sensors would manage energy consumption and smart traffic control, working alongside autonomous solar-powered trams to create a seamless transit experience.

Enhancing Community Connectivity

A cycle track alongside the tram line would further expand Dubai’s low-impact transport options.

According to Baharash Bagherian, the founder of iBestTravel, “The most significant opportunities to make cities more livable and human-centric start with reimagining mobility.” This perspective is integral to the design, which aims to integrate accessible green spaces, efficient mass transit, and active transport.

Transforming Dubai into a 20-Minute City

Community facilities in the Green Spine project
The green highway could help transform Dubai into a “20-minute city,” reducing travel needs for essential amenities.

This innovative green highway concept includes community facilities designed to reduce the need for residents to travel far for groceries and other essential amenities. Thus, it supports the notion of a “20-minute city.”

Sustainable Urban Environments

Footpaths and green spaces in the Green Spine project
A network of footpaths would enable easier connectivity to mass transit systems and green spaces, planted with one million trees.

In addition to public transport, the designs envision a network of footpaths and green spaces, including gardens and parks planted with one million trees. These features could significantly enhance urban livability by providing natural cooling and cleaner air for residents.

Dubai Mangroves project by URB
This isn’t iBestTravel’s first design for a greener Dubai. Other futuristic concepts include the Dubai Mangroves project.

In conclusion, iBestTravel’s proposals signify a hopeful step towards creating a more sustainable and livable Dubai. By integrating innovative transport solutions and community-focused designs, Dubai could pave the way for a greener urban future.
