Street Design and<br />
Infrastructure<br />
Infrastructure is an often forgotten subject and yet<br />
without it there would be no power, water, roads and<br />
communications. The infrastructure kiosk provides an<br />
insight into the work of the UPC’s Infrastructure team<br />
and how the plans they are creating will meet the needs<br />
of both current and future generations. Linked with<br />
infrastructure are the streets that connect people to<br />
places. The kiosk showcases the principles of the<br />
recently launched Abu Dhabi Urban Street Design<br />
Manual and highlights some of the planned<br />
changes to make Abu Dhabi’s streets<br />
safer, more vibrant and pedestrianfriendly.<br />

The Neighbourhood Planning kiosk will be<br />

playing a video explaining how the UPC is using<br />
the traditional ‘fareej’ style of neighbourhood<br />
design to create new ways of living to promote<br />
walking in lively, exciting neighbourhoods. The<br />
kiosk explains the elements that make up the<br />
neighbourhood and how these combine with<br />
community facilities such as schools,<br />
mosques, shops and clinics to create<br />
‘complete’ communities.<br />

Geographic Information<br />
Systems (GIS)<br />
Geographic Information Systems play an important role<br />
at the UPC. For instance, GIS enables planners to visualise<br />
how masterplans, infrastructure plans and developments<br />
will fit within the existing city fabric. It enables areas of<br />
environmental importance to be clearly mapped, and<br />
ensures that views of important monuments are not<br />
obstructed by new developments. The GIS kiosk will<br />
also feature two fly-throughs that allow visitors,<br />
with the aid of a control pad, to navigate<br />
freely through both a simulation of Wasat<br />
Madinat Abu Dhabi and a simulation<br />
of the Capital District.<br />
