Nakheel has revealed the master plan for Waterfront City, the centrepiece of Waterfront, the largest urban development project in the world.
Waterfront City will have a residential population of about 92,000 and a working population of 310,000 people. Covering more than 330 hectares, Waterfront City will comprise a central island surrounded by four districts - the Boulevard, Madinat Al Soor, the Resort, and the Marina.
Located on the west coast of Dubai property, the whole Waterfront development will transform 1.4 billion square feet in the desert and at sea in the community, in a total population of 1.5 million people.
Matt Joyce, Nakheel managing director, Waterfront, said: "Waterfront City is set to form the 'heart' of Waterfront and the master plan has been designed in such a way to cater not only for businesses, but for Dubai property residents and visitors alike. Each of the five districts making up Waterfront City possesses its own individual character and is vital for the promotion of a diverse and unified city.
"It will have a density similar to that of Manhattan, and with that in mind, commerce, retail, culture, and private accommodation will be overlapped to create a compact city centre property."
The central area of the island, a grid of five streets by five streets, will be the determining element of the construction Waterfront City, it will create a walkable distance between blocks, easing the flow of traffic passing through the town. For maximum shading and climate control in the city, the higher the potential of the masses will be focused on the south side, as well as ensuring the efficient use of wind flows for cooling. Each city block will be lined arcades and planted with trees.
