Since its inception in 2008, Masdar City has defined itself by following the same visionary approach. Built on the pillars of innovation and research, the City is a living testament to how fresh innovative ideas and collaboration can help mould a distinctive and inspiring urban ecosystem.

Masdar City is open to everyone. It brings together residents, students, academics, entrepreneurs, business leaders and investors in a collaborative environment that enables all to live, learn and grow.

Welcome to Masdar City, the new 'greenprint' for future cities and sustainable living.

Today’s cities are responsible for almost 80% of the world’s energy consumption and 75% of its carbon emissions. The number of people living in urban areas is set to double to 6.5 billion by 2050. Rapid urbanisation presents us with massive sustainability challenges that can be best met by adopting a radical new approach towards developing the cities of the future.

A ‘GREENPRINT’ FOR TOMORROW’S SUSTAINABLE CITIESMasdar City is on a journey to build one of the most sustainable urban developments on the planet. It is pioneering a ‘greenprint’ that conforms to the three pillars of sustainability – social, economic and environmental – and allows cities around the world to accommodate rapid urbanisation, reduce energy use and water consumption, optimise waste management and lower carbon emissions.

Masdar City combines ancient Arabic architectural techniques with modern technology to create one of the world’s largest clusters of high-performance buildings. The cluster operates as a real-time laboratory that monitors, studies and improves upon ways cities use, conserve and share resources.

Each building in Masdar City is constructed with low-carbon cement, utilises aluminum that is 90% drawn from recycled sources, and is designed to reduce energy and water consumption by at least 40%. These specifications are set in accordance with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and Estidama Pearl Building Rating System baselines. Estidama – named after the Arabic word for sustainability – is administered by the Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council.

Getting into and around Masdar City is simple, due to a variety of low carbon public transportation options, including the Personal Rapid Transit (PRT), electric and public buses and the upcoming Metro Line, Light Rail Transit (LRT), Group Rapid Transit (GRT). Once inside, Masdar City is completely pedestrianised and will boast excellent cycle routes to encourage a healthier lifestyle in a safe and convenient environment.
