From the moment Dubai won the right to host the 2020 World Expo, planning for the post-Expo site has been a key part of every phase of development to ensure the destination continues to add value to the UAE long after doors close in April 2021.
Images have now been released of Expo 2020 Dubai’s legacy development, District 2020.
The world-class district will be an integral part of the legacy of Expo 2020 Dubai from Q4 2021, and support the acceleration of the emirate’s development. It will be a long-term economic contributor for the UAE as a home for innovators, original thinkers and pioneers, creating jobs and attracting investment.

The district will include 65,000 square metres of residential space and 135,000 square metres of commercial space, in a location that will be home to world-class innovation, educational, cultural and entertainment facilities as well as a conference and exhibition centre.
It will be home to iconic structures such as Al Wasl Plaza, the Sustainability Pavilion, which will live on as a Children and Science Centre, and the falcon-shaped UAE Pavilion. They have been designed by some of the world’s most renowned architects.
