Dubai Blooms: Green Oasis in the Desert
Dubai in Bloom: Green Dubai Project Planting 2.5 Million Flowers
Dubai is not just a city of modern skyscrapers and luxurious buildings but increasingly a home for green areas, parks, and flowers. The emirate, which was once predominantly desert, is now a place where various plants abundantly bloom. Local authorities place great emphasis on making the city more livable and attractive from all aspects, striving to enhance both traffic safety and the visual experience.
The 'Green Dubai Project' was launched as part of an initiative worth Dh245 million dirhams, aiming to adorn the emirate's key routes with flowers and green areas. The project realized seven new developments targeting major hubs in Dubai, including intersections such as Sheikh Zayed and Al Khail roads. The city, where modern technology and natural beauty blend, offers a breathtaking view for both residents and visitors.
Primary Goal: Beauty and Sustainability
Beyond emphasizing safe traffic, Dubai prioritizes caring for green areas placed alongside roadways. As part of the 'Green Dubai Project,' new green zones and flowerbeds have been created to make transportation routes visually more appealing. These green areas not only hold aesthetic value but also contribute to environmental sustainability as the city increasingly strives to integrate natural elements.
2.5 Million Flowers Along the Emirate's Roads
Approximately 2.5 million flowers have been planted under the project, blooming in various colors and species, providing a unique experience for both drivers and pedestrians. The colors and arrangements of the flowers follow designed patterns along the pathways, becoming one of the city's attractions. The presence of green areas alongside modern architectural elements creates an impressive contrast, symbolizing Dubai's endeavor to balance nature and urban life.
Strategic Placement and Long-term Maintenance
The flowerbeds have been meticulously placed in strategic locations, such as major intersections and popular routes frequently visited by residents and tourists. The aim was to make this verdant spectacle accessible and enjoyable for everyone, enriching the journey in the otherwise crowded urban environment. Local authorities are also responsible for the flowers' maintenance, ensuring their long-term viability in desert conditions through special irrigation systems and sustainable methods.
The Future: More Green Plans
The 'Green Dubai Project' is just the first step in the city's greening efforts. Dubai's long-term strategies include further greening of city areas and reducing ecological footprints. The emirate is committed to sustainability, with local authorities continuously taking new steps to create a city where nature and urban life are closely intertwined.
