Abu Dhabi has opened its first fully air-conditioned outdoor walkway, which the emirate states could add to the quality of urban living in high-temperature climates. The walkway was designed to filter in natural sunlight while maintaining a cool internal environment to be used by residents and visitors for comfortable outdoor experiences throughout the year.
This development is part of Abu Dhabi’s efforts to improve public infrastructure and promote sustainable urban living. The city integrates advanced climate control technologies with thoughtful architectural design to offer comfortable outdoor spaces that encourage walking and reduce reliance on vehicles, thus contributing to environmental sustainability.
This walkway is cooled by air-conditioning and thus provides relief from the intense heat. At the same time, it acts as a model for future urban planning initiatives in similar climates. It reflects Abu Dhabi’s commitment to leveraging innovative solutions to enhance the quality of life for its residents and visitors.
In a world where cities are increasingly battling extreme weather conditions, Abu Dhabi’s air-conditioned walkway is one of the first attempts at making livable urban environments that prioritize comfort and sustainability.
