2.1 SITE CONTEXT
2.1.1 Regional Context

The project site is located only 15km away from
the heart of Business Bay in Dubai, and it can be
conveniently accessed by two major east - west
running express highways, Al Awir Road and Al Ain
Dubai Road.
At the same time, the site directly engages

Emirate Road, an outer periphery road of Dubai,
along its southern site boundary, and Sheikh
Mohammed Bin Zayed Road is also situated within
a very close proximity. In summary, the site can
be well accessed by various vehicular means, and
in future along the project site boundary, there
will be an introduction of a future metro station
linked with metro blue line making the site more
accessible for residents and visitors.
LEGEND

2.1.2 Local Context
PROJECT SIZE
The project site is 3,865,293m2 one of the
largest in terms of size among the other phases
of development.
CONNECTIVITY
The project site is in close proximity to Silicon
Oasis, including direct access by both the
existing and future vehicular roads; thus
providing a great advantages in terms of
the vehicular accessibility. The site also has
pedestrian and cycling tracks, connecting the
project site to it’s surrounding areas. There
will also be an introduction of a future metro
station along the northern west site boundary,
providing ease of public transportation access
and a great opportunity to create a transit-
oriented plaza integrated with the metro station.
EXISTING COMMUNITY
The project site is well surrounded by mixture
of residential communities, academic and
high tech cluster which makes it a favourable
condition and a great reason to create a focal
public amenity that can be reached and enjoyed
by larger community audiences.

2.4 LAND USE PLAN
There are three major zones: The TOD Zone with

Pond Park Apartments, Boulevard Neighbourhood
(Outer Ring), and Central Park Neighbourhood
(Inner Ring).
TOD Zone with Pond Park

Apartments
The TOD Zone comprises of mixed use buildings
and Pond Park Apartments. This zone has the
benefit of being served by a new metro station in
the future. The apartments in this area will primar-
ily be of the low to mid rise apartment typologies,
i.e., (G+5, G+9 and G+12).
Boulevard Neighbourhood
The Boulevard Neighbourhood (Outer Ring) is the
townhouse zone which is located between the
outer and inner ring road. The vehicular access to
these plots is through the inner ring road, however
pedestrian connectivity to this neighbourhood will
be through extensive green loop system in addi-
tion to the inner and outer ring roads.
Central Park Neighbourhood

The Central Park Neighbourhood also comprises
of townhouses that loop within the inner ring road
along with access to a large central green park,
and amenities within the neighbourhood.
All the utility plots are located along the north-

east site boundary allowing for a convenient ac-
cessibility from the existing external expressway.

2.5 ROAD HIERARCHY
There are four different categories of road

types proposed for Green Wood Master Plan as
highlighted below,
Major Arterial Road

The major arterial road runs outside the site
boundary, at the periphery providing access and
movement from the site to the other areas.
Minor Arterial Road, ROW - 60m

The main arterial road for the site providing access
to both mixed use development and townhouses.
Collector Road, ROW - 50m

The collector road loops around the two townhouse
type superplots and runs across the site.
Local Road Type 1, ROW - 20m

The local road type 1 caters to the services, utlity
plots and community facilities within the site.
Local Road Type 2, ROW - 18.3m

The local road type 2 provides access to various
townhouses within the superplots.
Note: The internal roads within superplots are to be

developed by the superdeveloper.

2.6 GREEN SPACES
There are four different types of green and open

spaces proposed for Green Wood,
01. Central Park Green
02. Pond Park
03. Buffer Green, and
04. Street Landscape
The most crucial one is the central park green

located within the inner loop community that ties
together the townhouses around it’s surrounding.
It is the main green open space filled with ample
amount of greeneries and programmed features
which residents can visit, relax and enjoy.
Another important feature is the extensive

green loop system that ties all the townhouses
located outside the loop road. Like the central
park green, it is linked with a series of the pocket
parks with varying sizes, offering residents with
a green amenity where they can walk, run, play,
and rest. There is a comfortable amount of green
buffer all around the site periphery and along the
loop road as well.
The street landscape is detailed as part of the

ROWs within the landscape and public realm

The Green Wood is proposed to have a ath exsis

comprehensive cycling and pedestrian (jogging wo n g

track) network that offers not only an internal
pedestrian network within the project site, but
also integrated with the existing and future
residential communities surrounding the site.
This will allow residents to navigate through the
active mobility network, aligning with the large
green network, to get to their desired destination.
This network can serve multiple functions; such
as for walking, running, exercising, and resting.

BUFFER PLANTATION
Tree buffer plantation helps not only creating
privacy but also contributes a lot to improve air and
soil quality. Its very effective as it contributes majorly
for creating a microclimate in the core.

KIDS PLAY AREA
Play area in the central park accommodates
more equipment than a regular community park.
This area includes thematic play equipment,
playgrounds, and gardens. Looking into detail
where it can be segregated as per age groups and
Jogging track design accordingly. Central water feature Theme avenue
PICNIC SPOTS
Shaded and secluded picnic spots can be
proposed along the central core. These spaces can
be like barbeque areas during season for the users.
These places cater to groups of any size and satisfy
every whim. They are a pleasant spot where you
can unwind away from the bustle of the city culture.
JOGGING TRACK
This track acts as loop for whole township. Jogging
track in the central park acts as spine where one
can explore all the activities and spaces proposed.

3.2 LAND USE PLAN

There are three major zones: Apartment Zone,
Townhouse Zone 1 (Outer Ring), Townhouse Zone 2
(Inner Ring), and Utility Zone. Apartment and Mixed
Use Buildings Zone shares the same radial road
networks of the previous ICP development and
primarily consists of the low to mid rise apartment
typologies (G+5, G+9 and G+12).
This zone is where a new metro station is located.

Located below the apartment zone is an integrated
townhouse district organized around a ring road
system. There are two different types of the
townhouse zones, the outer ring zone and the
inner ring zone. The inner zone accommodates a
spacious central green park, and the outer zone is
linked through an extensive green loop system.
All the utility plots are located along the north-

east site boundary allowing for a convenient
accessibility from the existing external expressway.
