How would you compare Wadi Walk with other high rise developments in the City of Arabia?
The design and layout of City of Arabia is done in such a way that there is a feeling of openness. We’ve followed a concept of inside-out design, so when you look inwards from the high towers you don’t have any obstruction in your way, whereas if you are in Wadi Walk you are a good distance away from the high towers so you don’t feel that they are right on top of your head. We have kept the synergy and integrity of design by keeping that openness. Wadi Walk is basically what I call the spine of Dubailand; the way it has been laid out ensures that once it’s built you can’t keep on adding more buildings to it and make it look crowded, like many other developments have become. It’s a closed integrated plan, and that’s the uniqueness of it; even if you wanted to there’s no ability to add any more building to it. Q3: Once completed, how do you visualize the lifestyle of the City of Arabia? As Dubai grows, the requirement for suburbs which cater for the needs of people is becoming more acute
