Abu Dhabi: Residents of future urban infrastructure projects in Abu Dhabi will enjoy the cool shade of trees near their residential buildings and intersections where they wait to cross the road.
Landscaping in future projects will be in places where people frequent, a senior official told Gulf News yesterday.
It will also save a lot of water used for irrigation, said Humaid Al Hammadi, associate planner, Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council (UPC).
According to Abu Dhabi 2030 plan, the emirates population is expected to grow from the current 1.6 million to about 3 million in 2030.
