Dubai
Green Initiative
Implementing afforestation and landscaping projects along roads, intersections, gardens, and reserves across the Emirate of Dubai.
The IDOM Green initiative aims to systematically document, classify, and expand all green spaces managed by Dubai Municipality — covering afforestation along major road corridors, roundabout landscaping, public gardens, and ecological reserves. Using GIS-based spatial analysis, we have identified priority zones where irrigation coverage gaps and plant-health deficiencies require immediate intervention.
Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road Corridor
Priority afforestation corridor extending 42 km. Includes median planting, roadside hedges, and automated drip irrigation networks.
"Green spaces are not ornamentation — they are critical infrastructure that defines the health, resilience, and identity of a modern city like Dubai."Dr. Layla Al Rashidi Chief Green Infrastructure Officer, Urban Sustainability Bureau

Irrigation Networks & Plant Distribution
Current GIS analysis reveals significant irrigation coverage gaps in the Al Khail Road and Emirates Road corridors. The proposed network expansion integrates sub-surface drip lines and automated pumping stations serving over 320 hectares of new planting zones. Predictive water consumption models indicate a 22% efficiency gain through smart scheduling and leak-detection sensors.

Road Corridor Greening
Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road corridors present the highest priority for afforestation. Current canopy coverage stands at 12%, with a target of 35% by 2030 through systematic median and roadside planting campaigns.
Sub-Irrigation Expansion
Automated sub-irrigation networks supply over 1,200 active zones across Dubai. Spatial analysis identifies 18 pumping stations operating below optimal pressure thresholds, requiring infrastructure upgrades to prevent plant-health degradation in peak summer months.
