Dubai unveils the concept of a ’20-minute city’.
Residents will be able to travel to destinations within 20 minutes by foot or bicycle.
The initiative intends to beautify urban areas and reduce the carbon footprint.
The 20-minute city will be divided into four centres – sector centre, district centre, community centre, and neighbourhood centre.
Each sector will feature different amenities such as a co-working hub, shopping centre, hospital, smart police station, school etcetera.
About 55 per cent of the residents will be placed within 800 meters of mass transit stations.
High-density areas will have connected pathways for pedestrians and soft mobility.
The project is part of the Dubai 2040 Urban Masterplan by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai.
