Dubai is well known around the world for the dramatic growth of the city since the UAE was founded in 1971, but what is not as well-known is that Dubai is a model for the country’s focus on sustainability and the ongoing transition to sustainable and smart cities. This year, the eyes of the world will be on the UAE as Dubai is set to host the first World Expo in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia region starting in October 2021.
In this episode we talk about how sustainability is a sub-theme of Expo 2020 Dubai, which presented the opportunity for the global community to share challenges, lessons learned, and solutions from the around the world. For Expo, the event is an opportunity to advance the UAE’s sustainability agenda and create a model of sustainable urban development that will live on as District 2020 after the event.
