Designed by URB, The LOOP is a 93-kilometer-long sustainable highway that aims to encourage Dubai’s residents to opt for a healthy mode of transportation. The structure provides a climate-controlled all-year environment to make walking and cycling the preferred type of transportation in the city. The initiative aligns with Dubai’s 20-minute city initiative, which hopes to see 80% of Dubai’s residents commute to work by walking or cycling. The project is currently in the research and development phase.
The project aims to reduce car dependency by offering opportunities for walking and cycling and by integrating essential amenities into its design. This would be a significant shift in the infrastructure of Dubai, a car-centric city built through a process of rapid urbanization. Besides the controlled climate, the structure is also planned to host several interconnected activities such as vertical farms for food security, parks, and recreational areas, various amenities, and opportunities for entrepreneurship.
