In a move that will reshape the very skyline of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has given the green light to an ambitious new master plan for Expo City Dubai. This visionary project is set to transform the iconic site that once hosted ‘Expo 2020 Dubai’ into a vibrant hub for 75,000 residents and businesses, making it a cornerstone for future growth in the emirate. With this approval, Dubai is once again positioning itself as a global leader in urban development and innovation.
Expo City Dubai, which captured the world’s attention during Expo 2020 and recently served as the host for the UN Climate Change Conference (COP28), is now set to evolve into a thriving community designed to meet the needs of a fast-growing population. The city’s new master plan envisions a state-of-the-art development with residential spaces, cutting-edge business facilities, and a focus on sustainability. The area will provide homes and workspaces for tens of thousands, turning the legacy of Expo 2020 into a beacon of progress and a catalyst for Dubai’s ongoing expansion.
The master plan reflects Sheikh Mohammed’s broader vision for Dubai as a global city of the future—one that balances rapid growth with sustainability, innovation, and community well-being. The development will feature cutting-edge infrastructure, environmentally friendly initiatives, and smart technology to ensure that Expo City remains a leader in sustainability. This makes it not only a prime destination for businesses but also a desirable place to live, with modern amenities, green spaces, and easy access to transportation networks.
The new Expo City will also continue to serve as a hub for major international events, further solidifying Dubai’s reputation as a global meeting point. By fostering innovation, business collaboration, and sustainable living, this master plan is designed to carry the legacy of Expo 2020 and COP28 far into the future.
As Dubai continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in urban development, the approval of this master plan signals the dawn of a new era for Expo City. A city where the spirit of global connection, innovation, and progress thrives—Expo City Dubai is set to become one of the most exciting and forward-thinking districts on the planet!
