    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.

  • Abu Dhabi Report H22012
    Abu Dhabi Report H2 2012 “2012 was a pivotal year for the Abu Dhabi real estate market with the delivery of significant new developments which have raised the quality of living and working standards in the capital. The residential sub-sectors are now becoming more clearly defined by qualitative factors with tenants seeking value for money. In 2013 we expect to see a widening segregation in rental rates between the popular new developments, which, with occupancy levels rising, will be able to sustain rental levels and in some cases achieve growth, and the less popular older stock, that will continue to see rents come under downward pressure as landlords compete to maintain occupancy.“ Paul Maisfield, Associate Director & General Manager Abu Dhabi, Asteco Property Management Abu Dhabi Supply Estimates 2012 New Supply 2013 Scheduled New Supply Average Apartment Rental Rates (AED’000/pa) Apartments (in units) 9,000 12,000 Studio 1 BR 2 BR 3 BR Villas (in units) 6,000 5,000 From To From To From To From To Offices (in m2) 312,000 290,000 Marasy -- 87 110 135 170 185 237 Marina Square 55 65 75 85 110 130 140 180 Nation Towers - - 95 100 145 170 165 300 Reef Downtown - - 55 65 70 75 85 95 Residential Market Overview Rihan Heights -- 95 122 130 150 155 190 We estimate that approximately 15,000 new homes have been delivered to the Abu Dhabi market Saadiyat Beach Apartments -- 81 128 130 163 165 206 over the course of 2012, with a further 17,000 scheduled for completion in 2013.
