The Sustainable City

The Sustainable City (TSC) is a master planned community covering 5 Million sq. ft. area located the district of Dubailand in Dubai. It is nestled amongst other residential communities such as Arabian Ranches, Mudon, Layan and Al Waha. It is just 15 minutes away from many from major Dubai landmarks like Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Beach Residences and the World Expo 2020 location whilst only a 20-minute drive from Dubai International Airport. Comprised of various land usage classifications such as residential, commercial, educational, urban farming, leisure, healthcare and The Diamond Innovation Centre, the development is a practical illustration of social, economic and environmental sustainability. The city embodies the true meaning of sustainable living by stakeholder engagement, innovative design and future monitoring designed strategically to further sustain itself.

Sustainability can be interpreted and defined in many different ways. The World Commission on Environment and Development defines sustainability as “Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” The goal of sustainability is to enhance the quality of life without compromising the needs of future generations. Sustainability is achieved by balancing the social and economic needs of humans with the environment. There are three (3) main pillars that make up sustainability, often referred to as the 3P’s: People, Planet and Profits or the 3E’s: Environment, Economic and Social Equity. TSC’s story for sustainability encompasses all the three main pillars embedded not only in the branding DNA, but also in what the organization and the development strives to achieve. Social Sustainability; Economic Sustainability; and Environmental Sustainability PS: We have linked it to the factsheet PDF file on our website.
