ECO MONEY: RHB ramps up sustainability initiatives

The Sustainable City is the first operational Net Zero Energy city in Dubai, modelled to become an international showcase for high quality sustainable living.

It’s been 9 years since the first set of keys were handed over to tenants in this community with solar panel clad homes and shaded vehicle free pedestrian streets.

Now, it’s been one year since I moved to Dubai and I can’t help but wonder why there aren’t more of such developments across the globe.

To find out more about the project, I caught up with Marwa Al Nahlawi, General Manager of Diamond Developers.
