Over the recent decades due to increasing population and developing industrial zones, the demands are growing up over time. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is now embarking on one of the largest modern cross-border rail networks in the world. This is an ambitious step regarding the planning and establishment of the rail network connecting all the six GCC countries. This railway network will go through at least one city in each country to link the cities of Kuwait in Kuwait, Dammam in Saudi Arabia, Manama in Bahrain, Doha in Qatar, the cities of Abu Dhabi and Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates and Sohar and then Muscat in Oman in terms of cargo and passengers. The area of investigation covers different aspects of the shared Arabian countries rail routes called ‘GCC line’ and their national rail network. The aim of this article is to study the existing future plans and policies of the GCC countries shared line and domestic railway network. This article studies the national urban (light rail transportation (LRT), metro (subways) and intercity rail transportation to appraise the potential of passenger movement and commodity transportation at present and in the future.

    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.

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] usuaebusiness.org Introduction The United Arab Emirates has long been recognized as a premier tourism and leisure destination. Over the past decade, these sectors have experienced rapid and sustained growth, becoming a key component of the U.A.E.’s successful economic diversification strategy. The biggest names in the international hospitality industry – from Hilton to Hyatt to Marriott – have invested heavily in the U.A.E. Meanwhile, the U.A.E. has developed, and exported, brand names of its own, such as DAMAC, Emaar, and Jumeirah. Moreover, household names like Six Flags, Sea World, Warner Bros., and Guggenheim are all taking root in the U.A.E.’s leisure and entertainment sectors. Main drivers of the sector’s robust growth have historically been the country’s strategic location, world-class transportation infrastructure, and fast-growing airlines. Two-thirds of the world’s population lives within an 8-hour fight of the U.A.E., and Emirates and Etihad Airways have become synonymous with best-in- class international travel. An ongoing catalyst for the expansion of the Emirati hospitality industry is the upcoming 2020 World Exposition, an international mega event.
