    Location and access<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The Sustainable City lies inland on Al Qudra Road, near Arabian Ranches<\/a> and Town Square<\/a>. Downtown<\/a> and the Marina<\/a> are about 25 to 30 minutes by car. Towards the desert begin the cycle paths and lakes of Al Qudra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The concept<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Developer Diamond Developers built the community in the mid-2010s with the aim of managing energy, water and waste as sustainably as possible. The houses carry solar panels, and the residential streets are largely car-free \u2013 cars park on the edge, and inside you get around on foot or by bike. There are also community gardens and greenhouses, an equestrian centre, sports facilities and schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
