Majority
of real estate developments up until the past decade were built without much
attention on sustainability. But concerns raised on the environment have
increased globally, and the UAE’s commitment to sustainability began a slow
focus on infrastructure development.

on the important of sustainable infra-structure development in the cities have
gained momentum. Real estate developers across the world have started taking
into account the environment impact of projects, and began moving away from the
“usual approach” in response to the need for sustainability.
