URB’s Dubai net zero district.
According to the URB website, the project could not be in better hands. “URB are highly experienced developers & consultants that provide development management, master planning, landscape and architectural services with a focus on designing Net Zero Sustainable Cities. The company was founded by Baharash Bagherian, a highly experienced master planner with over 18 years of experience,” says the website.
“Baharash Bagherian has worked in various senior roles for international architectural practices. Most recently he was the former Design Director of Diamond Developers and led the designs of various sustainable cities across the globe while leading and managing a team of Architects, Urban Planners, Landscape Designers and Interior designers.”
Bagherian also shared his views on the new project: “Dubai is best positioned to lead the Urban Tech Transformation than any other city in the world. The Urban Tech District will be a new global tech hub for urban innovation. With a total of 140,000 square meters of built up area, it will be the world’s largest urban tech district. Thus making Dubai the center for urban innovation.”
Furthermore, according to URB’s website, the new district will provide facilities for conferences, training, research, seminars, business incubation and more. The buildings present in the district will offset all their accumulated carbon emissions resulting from construction and operation and further empower a low-carbon workforce.
URB is at the forefront of green projects.
Set to be developed on the Creekside of Al Jaddaf area in Dubai, the urban tech district will create 4000 jobs in green urban tech, education and training. It will also host venture capitals to empower entrepreneurs to create a unique collaborative urban tech eco system.
