By the year 2030, the number of residents staying in the city of Abu Dhabi, and in its expected extension to the new capital district, will cross 3million, Falah Al Ahbabi, General Manager of Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council (UPC), has said.
The UPC supervises the implementation of all urban improvement projects in the emirate.
As for the water and power requirements to meet this expansion, he said: “The initial stages of the project will not require any new water or power stations but plans are in place to establish them in the later stages and locations are being reserved for purpose.”
When asked if the implementation of the project would be accompanied by a restructuring of the old city of Abu Dhabi, such as building more streets or demolishing old buildings, Al Ahbabi said, “As the new developments are being approved, the policies of the Abu Dhabi 2030 plan will be applied, such as pedestrian-friendly streets.
“There are also plans to reshape the existing city of Abu Dhabi. This will take some time. The objective is minimum disruption of the existing city.” Source
