Dubai Municipality (DM) has approved the master plan for land uses under the Bawadi project launched by Bawadi company, a member of Tatweer Dubai, and to facilitate all the planning and co-ordination of the project as it represents a part of the overall master plan of the project.

Dawood Al Hajiri, Director of Planning Department in the municipality, said the move would pave the process for preparation of plans for land use, the study of density of buildings, the gross floor area, procedures related to service facilities by the developers all over the Bawadi, and the hospitality and shopping project extended over a distance of 10km.

"It will also lead to the discussions on the technical requirements and supervision on the conduct of the project and in ensuring the effectiveness of performance in line with the highest international standards and providing a unique lifestyle unprecedented within all facilities," he said.

The hospitality project, which is being developed with an investment of Dh200 billion, had obtained the approval of Dubai Municipality with regard to areas of major construction within the master plan. All measures have been taken to enable developers and partners in the joint venture to begin preliminary work on their sites.

The land use plan aims to enhance efficiency and effectiveness of economic development, including secure and easy traffic flow, promotion of safety measures, attention to the provision of sufficient quantities of light and air, focus on urban design, support and means of energy conservation, and the establishment of service facilities.

According to the master plan of the project, the hospitality project will be divided into five geographic regions, reflecting the unique characteristics of the link between the buildings and the road network and cross-cuttings. Among the other distinctive elements of the project is a transport system, which includes areas dedicated to pedestrians and transportation carriages, which would be integrated with the rest of the components of the development.

The master plan has been proposed after an evaluation and careful planning of the methods and design patterns.
