The Driving Force of Plan Abu Dhabi 2030

“Plan Abu Dhabi 2030”, is designed to help Abu Dhabi filter and respond to current and future development needs, establish a planning culture and introduce strong guiding principles for new development.

This Urban Structure Framework Plan is first and foremost grounded in the cultural and environmental identity of Abu Dhabi. The city’s population may grow to three million or it may exceed five million by 2030.

Estidama was conceived to support the realisation of Plan Abu Dhabi 2030, to ensure sustainable practices encompassing building and community design are embedded into the culture rather than enforcing it through a set of governmental regulations and standards.

The Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council, through Estidama, has developed the “Community Sustainable Responsibility” initiative, Estidama CSR 2030 (ECSR 2030). This initiative reflects a new responsive mindset that transcends the frontiers and that is projecting a vision of a harmonious diversified society that is culturally rich and evolving into a continuously stable environment.

ECSR 2030 aims to take Plan Abu Dhabi 2030 beyond existing sustainable initiatives by monitoring, enforcing clear procedures, and clarifying responsibilities that are crucial to support its 2030 vision. The program reflects a new mindset that transcends the frontiers and that projects a vision of a harmonious diversified society that is culturally rich and evolving into a continuously stable environment.

With Estidama and Plan Abu Dhabi 2030, Abu Dhabi will become a sustainable Arab community, which promotes economic growth while enhancing the overall quality of life of residents, and protecting environmental resources.
