    In Pictures: Expo City is about Dubai drawing a straight line between legacy and the future

    The no-cars Expo City sends out one strong message on what a smart future city will be


    Published:  June 22, 2022 15:56 Last updated:  June 23, 2022 13:51 Manoj Nair, Business Editor and Devadasan K P, Chief Visual Editor

    Drawing a perfect line between its legacy and all the possibilities the future can provide – that’s what Dubai does best. At the Expo City Dubai, the city has once again perfected that unique mix. Image Credit: Ahmed Ramzan/Gulf News

    Because the new ‘city’ builds on the platform of one Dubai’s biggest breakthrough moments – the hosting of a global event that drew in millions over its six-month run despite all the obstacles that were placed initially after the pandemic burst. Image Credit: Ahmed Ramzan/Gulf News

    Now, as memories of those Expo-fuelled months remain stuck in memory, some of those structures become the foundation for the future-forward Expo City Dubai. Image Credit: Ahmed Ramzan/Gulf News

    As Dubai has consistently done through the decades, the legacy and the future co-mingle. It’s been done before, whether through extending the city from the World Trade Centre all the way to Jebel Ali Port and Free Zone in the 80’s. Then creating the pockets of clusters – DIFC, Downtown, Dubai Marina, DMCC – in between. Image Credit: AP

    At Expo City Dubai (it was earlier branded ‘District 2020’), October will bring more visibility on what the city planners have in mind. Sure, the permanent structures – Al Wasl Plaza, Mobility Pavilion, Terra – have all been repurposed to serve Dubai’s current and future residents. And linking them in turn to the Expo legacy.

    This is the point where the City makes a decisive push for the future – LEED-certified buildings, doing away with single-use plastic and creating a destination that is self-sustained on all scores. Image Credit: Ahmed Ramzan/Gulf News

    Plus, of course, this will be a car-free zone. In total. No exceptions. Above, water Feature at Expo City. Image Credit: Expo 2020 Dubai

    With the switch to Expo City Dubai, the next stage would be to see how the rest of the destination shapes up. From the Expo, 80 per cent of the infrastructure will be retained. So, whoever comes in new still has that 20 per cent land canvas to showcase their credentials. Above, the Opportunity Pavilion will become the Expo 2020 Dubai Museum to highlight the history and impact of world expos and success of the six-month global event in Dubai.

    Come October, Expo City Dubai will take its place among the 'destinations' the city has embedded within itself. There was the earlier reveal of the Museum of the Future, and just days before, of the Mohammed bin Rashid Library. Above, a general view of Alif - The Mobility Pavilion. Some of the big pavilions like Terra (Sustainability) and Alif (Mobility) will re-open in September. Image Credit: Expo 2020 Dubai
