UAE group to showcase net zero energy city

ABU DHABI, February 10, 2016

UAE-based Diamond Developers will be showcasing its premier sustainable community, The Sustainable City, at this year’s Global Forum for Innovations in Agriculture (GFIA) in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

An annual event, GFIA will bring together public decision-makers, private sector champions and civil society leaders who develop and catalyse innovations for sustainable agriculture.

The Sustainable City Development, which is the region’s first Net Zero Energy City, will be unveiled during both days of the exhibition, which is to be held at Adnec from February 16 to 17.

Diamond Developers said it has been specially selected by GFIA to provide an exclusive technical tour of the City’s concepts on February 18.

Faris Saeed, the chief executive and co-founder of Diamond Developers, said: "We are happy that the sustainable city was chosen by the organisers as the destination for this year’s technical tour."

"We look forward to welcoming experts and professionals to The Sustainable City so that they can see how we turned this vision into a living reality, and how urban farming is co-existing with all other elements of The Sustainable City," he stated.

The Sustainable City is considered one of the most innovative and unique developments in the region. In line with Dubai’s ambitious aim to become an international model of sustainable living, the project promotes the idea of urban agriculture with the inclusion of a 3 hectare farm running across the City’s central spine.

This community farm accommodates 38,000 sq ft of Biodomes Greenhouses dedicated to the growing of fruits, herbs and vegetables, allowing residents to enjoy local year round healthy food.

Residents will have the opportunity to participate in community farming groups and a community supported agriculture food box program that will see fresh produce and trays of herbs delivered door to door on a weekly basis.-TradeArabia News Service
