Dubai, UAE – Renowned Dutch architecture firm UNStudio has revealed its masterplan for Expo City Dubai, a groundbreaking mixed-use development poised to become a dynamic new urban centre for the city.
Set on the historic site of Expo 2020 Dubai, the project is designed to extend the legacy of the global event. The masterplan preserves more than 80 percent of the existing buildings and infrastructure from the Expo, repurposing them within a forward-looking, sustainable urban district.
Expo City Dubai will blend residential, commercial, cultural, and innovation-led spaces to foster an inclusive, 24/7 community that reflects Dubai’s ambitions for the future. The development will prioritize pedestrian-friendly design, smart mobility, and integrated green spaces, aligning with global standards for sustainable city-making.
“Our vision for Expo City Dubai is to create a living, breathing urban environment that embodies innovation, sustainability, and cultural exchange,” said Ben van Berkel, Founder and Principal Architect of UNStudio. “By building on the legacy of Expo 2020, we are not only preserving its architectural achievements but also creating a place that will continue to inspire and connect people for decades to come.”
The development will be delivered in multiple phases, with the first phase expected to begin construction in [Insert Timeframe] and a targeted completion for key components by [Insert Date]. Each phase will integrate seamlessly into the existing infrastructure while introducing new public spaces, mobility systems, and smart city technologies.
As one of the largest legacy transformations of a World Expo site, Expo City Dubai is set to become a model for post-event urban regeneration worldwide.
