🌳 Dubai Green Spine project: plans unveiled to completely transform E311 The Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan is a comprehensive road map that will guide urban development in Dubai over the next two decades. Еhe E311 is one of Dubai’s major roads and the project will transform 64km part of Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Road between Muhaisnah and Dubai Industrial City by adding a new non-motorized public transportation system to reduce the city’s carbon footprint. They propose to launch a solar-powered tram system on this stretch, to organise many green zones, to plant more than a million trees, to lay out gardens and even vertical farms where vegetables and fruits can be grown, and to lay pedestrian and bicycle paths. The result will be much cleaner air in Dubai and a smaller carbon footprint. The project is tentatively estimated at 36 billion dirhams and is still just a concept.

Dawood Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality, explained:

"The digital system takes into account an integrated method and specific criteria that reflect our identity and the relationship between Dubai's past, present and future."
