UAE of the future: What the

country will look like after

2020.
The UAE is planning to establish the first
inhabitable human settlement on Mars by
2117. The UAE Centennial Plan 2071 offers
a clear map for the long-term government
work to fortify the country's reputation and
its soft power. The UAE will have achieved
Dubai Clean Energy Strategy under which
75 per cent of Dubai's energy will be
generated from clean sources. The UAE will
also have achieved Fujairah 2040 Plan.
District 2020
After April in 2021, more than 80 per cent
of the Expo-built structures will be retained
and repurposed for District 2020.
District 2020 will see the urbanisation of the
Expo 2020 site into a smart and sustainable
micro city-within-a-city that aims to provide
an innovation-driven business ecosystem,
while being a diverse and thriving urban
community.
District 2020 is curating a diverse mix of
tenants that include global corporations,
SMEs, and startups, as well as enablers and
social and educational platforms. Two of
Expo’s Official Premier Partners, Accenture
and Siemens, have already committed to
establishing a permanent presence in
District 2020. Siemens will establish its
global headquarters for airports, cargo and
ports logistics at the site, while Accenture
will open a digital hub.
Dubai Creek Tower - the new tallest tower
Trumping the best-known characteristic of
one of the crowning jewels of the country –
the Burj Khalifa – the Dubai Creek Tower is
set to become the new, record-breaking,
tallest building in the world.
Part of the Dubai Creek Harbour project,
the observation tower has been designed
by Santiago Calatrava and is expected to
complete in 2020 in time for the Expo. The
tower promises to feature a 360°
observation deck featuring spectacular city
views.
Dubai Creek Harbour
A six square-kilometer development in
Deira, this project will change the façade of
one of Dubai’s oldest areas drastically. The
Dubai Creek Tower will be the main
attraction within this project but that’s not
all.
The Museum of the Future
A regular sight for motorists on the Sheikh
Zayed Road, the design for Museum of the
Future is an architectural marvel and a
stunning ode to Arabic. A futuristic museum
in concept, the project promises
technological innovations and Artificial
Intelligence ahead of our time for an
immersive and interactive experience.
