Jumeirah Village South

The plan for this new community in Dubai will house

140,000 residents in high-rise towers, low-rise apart-

ments, town homes and villas. The development will

also include commercial centers, retail development,

neighborhood centers, multi-modal transit, and a tradi-

tional souk all designed using “new urbanist” planning

principles - the first such project in Dubai. The open

space system has been designed to create a walkable

network of trails, promenades, canals, lakes, and sport-

ing facilities. An emphasis has been placed on using

native vegetation to reforest the site and create a theme.
