Mohammad bin Rashid Gardens
Mohammad bin Rashid Gardens was an environmentally friendly project designed for Dubai, UAE. The project was the first of its kind. It would have preserved and protected the environment and help to green the emirate of Dubai. It would have covered 800 million Sq ft and cost USD 55 billion (AED 200 billion). As a result of the Global Financial crisis of 2007–2008, the project was put on hold in 2008. In 2012, the project was scaled down and redesigned as Mohammed bin Rashid City.[1]
