Brand Dubai along with Dubai Municipality has announced that as part of a joint redevelopment project, 10 public parks will be redesigned.
The project features 30 individuals, including event planners, architects and interior designs from the Emirati creative community that have been chosen to be a part of the redesign project.
Over 100 applicant submissions were received from the creative community which were then evaluated, with 30 selected.
The redesign will include urban seating, children’s playgrounds, jogging tracks, landscaping and other elements of the park as well as concepts for community events or activities.
Asem Abdulrazzaq Al Qassim, Acting Director of Executive Planning Department at Dubai Municipality said, “The initiative, which supports the vision of making Dubai the world’s best place to live in, stems from the strong priority we place on developing green spaces in the emirate. Public green spaces are critical to enhancing the wellbeing, sustainability and livability of cities and bring diverse other social and environmental benefits. We are sure that the participants selected from the community to contribute to the project will help bring new dimensions of creativity and excellence to the project, which will see multidisciplinary teams working on transforming the parks. A total of 10 parks located in the residential areas will be redesigned as part of our joint project.”
Parks at Al Mizhar 1, Muhaisnah 3, Al Barsha 2, Al Qouz 1, Al Warqa’a 2, Nad Al Sheba 4, Al Twar 3, Oud Al Muteena 2, Al Warqa’a 4 and Umm Suqeim 2 will be redesigned.
