Sustainable Urban Transport Highways
The Loop in Dubai is a New Zero-Emissions System by URB
Amy Duong — May 2, 2023
The Loop is a new running and cycling infrastructure that is located in Dubar and designed by URB. It is 03km in total and is designed by a zero-emission transport system that connects all 3 million of its residents. The Loop is designed to encourage healthy methods of transportation with one that involves walking and cycling. It also highlights kinetic energy to be able to be fueled by 100% renewable energy.
The purpose of the Loop is to transform the way that residents commute in Dubar. Currently, it is overrun by cars, and the transition adds more options and also contributes to a more eco-friendly way of traveling. URB notes, “Dubai is the best place for entrepreneurship in urban mobility. THE LOOP project is an embodiment of that entrepreneurial spirit, which aims to make Dubai the most connected city on earth by foot or bike. In Europe, most people ride bicycles or walk to get to work. In Dubai, our aim is to get more than 80% of people to use a bike on a daily basis."
