Culture The Capital District is grounded in principles of Estidama, or sustainability, and as such, will be a city where cultural, social, economic and environmental systems thrive, for present and future generations. The following core principles guided the Capital District Masterplan. 28 A Livable, and Modern Arab Capital The structure of the Capital District is based on creating a culturally symbolic, vital, contemporary and distinct Arab urban form for this new city. The plan proposes a high degree of land use mix and diversity, with neighbourhoods linked by walkable streets and a world-class public transport network.
A Global Capital At the heart of the Capital District will be a Federal Precinct, which will serve as the national seat of government for the United Arab Emirates and be designed to celebrate the identity, culture and values of the Emirates. Government buildings, national institutions and embassies along grand boulevards will provide a symbolic and memorable approach to the Capital District. Contemporary Arab architecture and a strong international diplomatic presence will reinforce the cultural diversity of the Emirates’ population. Along primary boulevards and at gateways to the city, distinct public spaces and commemorative places will reinforce the city’s ceremonial and symbolic function and provide the space for the parades, celebrations, and events that are an integral part of the life of a global capital city. 29
