THE Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council (UPC), responsible for the future of Abu Dhabi’s urban environments and the management and implementation of Plan Abu Dhabi 2030, has unveiled a development plan for the emirate’s corniche.
The council, in collaboration with the Executive Affairs Authority (EAA), Abu Dhabi Municipality (ADM), Department of Transport (DOT) and Abu Dhabi Police, will enhance the corniche’s beachfront and plazas. As part of a three-year development programme, work on the initial phase of the revitalisation of the corniche will be completed by October.
The Corniche Public Beach Development Plan will ensure that the corniche provides comprehensive recreation and leisure opportunities for the entire Abu Dhabi community. Residents will enjoy an interactive beachfront with new events and restaurants.
It will create a sense of place by providing a youth and family-oriented experiences in Abu Dhabi with a beach boardwalk and facilities for cycling and sports such as beach football and volleyball, skateboarding, as well as other leisure and entertainment activities, while implementing cultural and environmental activities and promotions.
