Dubai unveils AED 34 bn Metro Gold Line connecting 15 districts by 2032
from Daily SumUp
Vice-President and Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has approved the Metro Gold Line, the emirate’s largest single transport project. Announced on 22 April, the 42-kilometre line will add 15 stations and plug 55 real-estate developments into the city’s rail network, ultimately serving an estimated 1.5 million residents. The Gold Line reinforces Dubai’s ‘20-minute-city’ vision—placing 80 % of residents within a 20-minute trip of daily needs—and dovetails with green-mobility commitments made at COP 28. By shifting commuters and expatriate professionals away from private cars, authorities expect the project to remove roughly 240,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually once fully operational. Hosted on Acast.
