ABOUT 2ND FUTURE LANDSCAPE AND PLAYSPACES UAE SUMMIT

Exciting developments are taking root in Dubai as the city charts a visionary course towards a greener, more vibrant future. Throughout the city, developers are adopting environmentally conscious building technologies, implementing energy-efficient designs, and incorporating green infrastructure. This concerted effort reflects a commitment to align with the ambitious climate goals outlined at COP28, showcasing Dubai's dedication to sustainable and eco-friendly development.

UAE's efforts and initiatives play a crucial role, not just in line with Dubai 2040 urban Master Plan, ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision, and UAE Net Zero 2050 but very much in accordance with the Dubai Code for Qualified Environment to provide suitable spaces for people of determination.

The Dubai Countryside and Rural Areas Development Master Plan is aimed at preserving the natural essence of regions while transforming them into prominent tourist destinations and prioritizes the safeguarding of natural reserves and archaeological sites, supporting local farmers and products, creating investment opportunities, enhancing public facilities and services, developing public parks, implementing traffic solutions, and establishing sustainable transportation systems for direct bus trips and designated zones for bicycles and scooters. Dubai’s dedication and vision is to not just enhance the attractiveness of the Emirate but also foster well-being and happiness among its residents.

Under the theme “Where design meets play, and innovation meets nature” the 2nd Future Landscape and Playspaces UAE Summit is taking place on 5 - 6 March 2024 in Dubai with top industry visionaries, government entities, renowned architects, consultants, technology providers and other like-minded enthusiasts.
