The UAE’s a trendsetter in the region for many industry’s but most noticeable has been its bold vision for the transformation of its architecture; transitioning buildings of the past into modern works of art and sustainable landscapes of the future! UAE cities are in a unique position, they’re not bound by centuries old buildings or streetscapes meaning they can create purposeful and functional buildings and urban spaces that meet and anticipate the needs of its citizens and residents. Abu Dhabi has paved the way in this respect by placing nature at the heart of its city plans, opening its first urban forest, Al Fay Park, earlier this year. According to research group the Tree Urbanistas, “it is only through re-establishing contact with the natural world, particularly trees, that cities will be able to function, be viable and able to support their populations,” in the future.
