  • 220,000 €400 Million 4,500
    Building for Art’s Sake World-class museums no longer stake their reputations on art and artifacts alone; the museum building itself must be viewed as an architectural treasure. Along with surging visitor numbers and swelling collections, this trend is driving a spate of major museum projects in New York, New York, USA; London, England; and theEd ge Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Te projects expand, The Louvre Abu Dhabi, designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, is move or build new branches of some of the world’s leading muse- slated for a December 2015 opening. ums—and face challenges ranging from unusual building sites to allegations of labor abuses. Te €400 million Louvre Abu Dhabi designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, slated for a December 2015 opening, and the US$800 million Guggenheim Abu Dhabi designed by U.S. architect Frank Gehry, scheduled to open in 2017, are prime examples. Branches of the original Guggenheim and Louvre museums in New York and Paris, France, respectively, the proj- ects are central components of the UAE government’s planned “cultural district” on Saadiyat Island. Because the two museums will be surrounded by water on three sides, engineering hurdles are substantial. Te largest challenge facing Saadiyat’s three museum proj- ects—the Zayed National Museum is scheduled to open in 2016, with assistance from the British Museum in London—is putting to rest international concern about widespread abuses of migrant workers, including poor living conditions, unpaid wages and forced labor. “I therefore call on the UAE government, but also on all companies involved in the Saadiyat project—including [the] Louvre, British Museum and Guggenheim—to ensure that any form of mistreatment is addressed and that all migrants can fully enjoy their human rights,” Barbara Lochbihler, chair of the European Parliament’s subcom- mittee on human rights, said in December 2013.

  • Dubai Tram: (A Safe and Smooth Transport for All) 591 Thousand Users for Completion of 6 “Roads” & “Salik” Apps Garages for Trucks
    The Official Monthly Magazine of Dubai`s RTA Issue No. 80 February 2015 Dubai Tram: (A Safe and Smooth Transport for All) 591 thousand users for Completion of 6 “roads” & “salik” apps garages for trucks Safety of Passengers Since its inception, the RTA adopted roads safety and paid much attention and care to it, as safety is one of the most important pillars of our business. The RTA vision includes both principles of security and ease and thus its vision is (A Safe and Smooth Transport for All). Commitment to the procedures of security and safety of passengers in mass transit is one of the most fundamental values that cannot be compromised or relinquished under any circumstances. Based on this well-established strategy, the RTA has adopted additional preventive measures to raise the level of traffic safety at intersections controlled by light signals on the path of Dubai Tram in which the tram movement overlaps with the movement of vehicles or in which the vehicle traffic parallels to the tram path in the same direction. These measures included preventing some turnings to the left towards the tram route at six intersections in the marina and Jumeirah Beach Towers. The RTA put other alternatives for these intersections including the use of nearby circumventions and junctions that lead to the required destination. Ensuring the safe use of the roads network and mass transit means requires cooperation from all the road users whether the vehicle drivers or pedestrians, by full compliance with the traffic rules as well as commitment to the signboards and speed limits, particularly on the roads adjacent to the tram route.
