Planning Abu Dhabi: From Arish Village to a Global, Sustainable, Arab Capital City By Alamira Reem Bani Hashim A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Elizabeth S. Macdonald, Chair Professor Michael Southworth Professor Greig Crysler Summer 2015 © Alamira Reem Bani Hashim Abstract Planning Abu Dhabi: From Arish Village to a Global, Sustainable Arab Capital City by Alamira Reem Bani Hashim Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Elizabeth S. Macdonald, Chair The overarching objective of this research project is to explore and document the urban history of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It is organized as a comparative study of urban planning and design processes in Abu Dhabi during three major periods of the city’s development following the discovery of oil: (1) 1960-1966: Sheikh Shakhbut Bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s rule (2) 1966-2004: Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s rule; and (3) 2004-2013: Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s rule. The intention of this study is to go beyond a typical historical narrative of sleepy village-turned-metropolis, to compare and contrast the different visions of each ruler and his approach to development; to investigate the role and influence of a complex network of actors, including planning institutions, architects, developers, construction companies and various government agencies; to examine the emergence and use of comprehensive development plans and the policies and values underlying them; as well as to understand the decision-making processes and design philosophies informing urban planning, in relation to the political and economic context of each period.

The U.A.E. Oil & Gas Sector
The U.A.E. Oil & Gas Sector Recent Updates January 2019 The U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council is the premier business organization dedicated to advancing bilateral commercial relations. By leveraging its extensive networks in the U.S. and in the region, the U.S.- U.A.E. Business Council provides unparalleled access to senior decision makers in business and government with the aim of deepening bilateral trade and investment. U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council 505 Ninth Street, NW Suite 6010 Washington D.C. +202.863.7285 [email protected] www.usuaebusiness.org EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.), a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF), has long been an important actor in international oil & gas (O&G) markets. Having consolidated its position in the global hydrocarbon sector, Emirati policymakers are now actively pursuing wide-ranging social, economic, and regulatory reforms with demonstrable impacts on the domestic O&G sector and key international markets. U.A.E. policymakers have explicitly stated that the Emirates, particularly Abu Dhabi, will undertake major strategic investments in midstream and downstream infrastructure to bring domestic producers in line with the U.A.E.’s 2021 national development goals, and the contemporary global hydrocarbon pricing environment, through greater emphasis on high value-added refined and petrochemical products, rather than crude oil exports.1 In support, the Government of Abu Dhabi has already strategically reoriented its national oil company, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), to allow the firm’s leadership to augment activities across the hydrocarbon value-chain through the optimization of its organizational structure, a more robust utilization of external funding, significant investments in new and preexisting assets, and the expansion of the company’s strategic partnership frameworks.
