It’s hard to imagine how else Dubai can be improved, but another huge initiative is on the way. Green and Blue Spaces Roadmap 2030 will reshape the way we experience urban life. With plans to introduce more parks, enhance beaches, and expand sports facilities, this project promises to make Dubai greener, more active, and better connected to nature.

In the next few years, a whole new level of green is coming to the city with 1.5 million more trees and 120 new parks. So, if you ever feel like “touching grass” (a Gen Z term for disconnecting from the busy digital world and reconnecting with nature), these spaces will be available at every corner. Plus, there are plans to create 200 new sports and recreation areas.

As for the blue part of the 2030 Roadmap, Dubai has plans to enhance its beaches and waterfronts:

  • 400% boost of facilities and services
  • 150% growth of public beach space
  • 285% more beachfront tracks for walking, jogging, and cycling

One of the projects already announced is the transformation of Umm Suqeim Beach. This beloved spot will be turned into a popular destination, complete with art installations, new attractions, cafes, and activities.

With all these changes, Dubai is making sure nature is something that’s built right into the daily experience of living here.
