The Abu Dhabi Public Realm Design Manual (PRDM) was commissioned by the Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council (UPC) to guide the development of a world-class public realm. The PRDM is a planning tool that creates quality public spaces that work towards a vision for the public realm. The Manual users are municipalities, agencies, designers and developers.
The PRDM establishes the foundation for public realm planning. It identifies the context of public realm planning, provides guiding statements for all public realm development and illustrates concepts for community-wide public realm systems. Additionally, the manual outlines recommendations for achieving the vision, principles and policies of the PRDM
