Dubai unveils a new master plan for Palm Jebel Ali, bigger than Palm Jumeirah, with 80+ hotels and resorts, homes for 35,000 families, and a place in the Dubai 2040 urban master plan.
On Wednesday, Dubai's rulers unveiled a new master plan for Palm Jebel Ali, which will surpass the size of Palm Jumeirah.
The Palm Jebel Ali project, which will house more than 80 hotels and resorts, will be revived to extend the coastline of the Emirate of Dubai by 110 kilometres (68 miles) and become part of the Dubai 2040 urban master plan, according to Sheikh Mohammed's statement.
The Dubai 2040 City Master Plan outlines a comprehensive strategy for Dubai's sustainable urban development, with a focus on improving people's well-being and overall quality of life. The plan aims to consolidate Dubai's position as a global destination for citizens, residents and visitors over the next two decades.
Key Features of Palm Jebel Ali
When completed, Palm Jebel Ali is expected to house more than 35,000 families and will offer luxurious beachfront living and a wide range of entertainment and leisure facilities, all of which will be important contributions to Dubai's tourism sector.
The remarkable man-made island off the coast of Dubai is a testament to impressive engineering and architectural design. The project has also considered environmental factors, preserving nearby marine habitats.
This will further contribute to Dubai's tourism sector by providing luxury-scale resorts, hotels and entertainment facilities, as well as creating numerous job opportunities, thereby boosting the local economy.
The project also aims to create vibrant and connected communities by building walkable, mixed-use areas with a variety of amenities. The development will integrate smart city technology and sustainable practices to reduce its environmental impact.
In addition, diverse transportation options will be at the core of services for residents, visitors, and local communities.
Once completed, the man-made island is expected to be largely self-sufficient in terms of power generation, with up to 30 percent of its energy coming from renewable sources.
