Abu Dhabi's 2030 vision is Cityscape centrepiece

A huge scale model of how the capital of the United Arab Emirates will appear in 2030 was unveiled today and forms the centrepiece of this year's Cityscape Abu Dhabi. The 23 metre by 17 metre display is the biggest single model on show at Cityscape, the largest gathering of real estate professionals in the Middle East so far this year being held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre until 21 April 2010 under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.
Sheikh Hamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Crown Prince's Court, viewed the 1:2000 model unveiled on the stand of the Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council during an opening tour of Cityscape. Sheikh Hamed is also Managing Director of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world and chairman of General Holding Corporation, the parent company of Emirates Steel.
The model showcases major urban planning initiatives, bringing together economic, cultural, environmental and social aspirations of Abu Dhabi in a single format. The model covers an area from the Corniche on Abu Dhabi's main island to Shahama, Mussafah and Al Falah on the mainland and includes the islands of Saadiyat, Yas, Lulu, Reem and Sowwah.
