What is Sharjah Sustainable City?
Developed by Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) partnered with Diamond Developers, Sharjah Sustainable City will be the first sustainable residential community in the UAE. The City seeks to reduce carbon emissions while preserving a clean and healthy environment by relying entirely on zero net emissions energy. It is supported by sustainable facilities, such as electric cars, greenhouses, agricultural facilities, and many more.
The infrastructure in The City is facilitated by renewable energy and built using sustainable materials. It also promotes the concept of self-efficiency by producing its own zero-chemical vegetables through its greenhouses. Moreover, no water is wasted in The City because the wastewater is treated for irrigation across the neighborhood.
