Exploring resilient landscape strategies for Dubai’s future 🌧️🌴
This conceptual landscape section illustrates how urban design and landscape architecture can help reduce flooding during extreme rainfall events in the UAE. The proposal integrates:
• Rain gardens & bio-swales
• Permeable paving systems
• Underground stormwater storage
• Detention and infiltration basins
• Elevated building platforms
• Native drought-tolerant planting
• Smart flood monitoring systems
A sustainable approach where landscape is not only aesthetic — but also infrastructure.
As climate challenges continue to impact cities like Dubai, integrating blue-green infrastructure into future developments can improve resilience, water management, and public spaces simultaneously.
