Masdar City, Abu Dhabi
“Strategically located for Abu Dhabi’s principal transport infrastructure, Masdar will be linked to surrounding communities as well as the centre of Abu Dhabi and the
international airport by a network of existing road and new rail and public transport routes. Rooted in a zero carbon ambition, the city itself is car free. With a
maximum distance of 200m to the nearest transport link and amenities, the compact network of streets encourages walking and is complemented by a personalised
rapid transport system. The shaded walkways and narrow streets will create a pedestrian friendly environment in the context of Abu Dhabi’s extreme climate. It
also articulates the tightly planned, compact nature of traditional walled cities. With expansion carefully planned, the surrounding land will contain wind, photovoltaic
farms, research fields and plantations, so that the city will be entirely self-sustaining.”
