Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority has completed a comprehensive set of infrastructure projects in Al Quoz Creative Zone aimed at enhancing connectivity, promoting sustainable mobility, and supporting the area’s transformation into a global creative hub.
The projects include a 45-metre pedestrian and cycling bridge on Al Manara Street, three mobility hubs, and 4 kilometres of dedicated pedestrian and cycling tracks. These developments link the zone to Al Quoz Bus Station and Onpassive Metro Station, enabling seamless multimodal movement for residents, visitors, and creatives.
Preparations are also underway for the Super Blocks project, which introduces flexible urban spaces that can host artistic events, cultural festivals, and temporary pedestrian-only streets. The initiative aligns with Dubai’s Urban Plan 2040, the 20-Minute City concept, and broader social cohesion goals by providing accessible, pedestrian-friendly environments.
His Excellency Mattar Al Tayer, RTA Director General, highlighted the projects’ role in reducing reliance on private vehicles while fostering efficient, people-centric mobility.
“The pedestrian and cycling bridge enhances safety and traffic flow, and the mobility hubs contribute to a connected urban environment that encourages walking and social interaction,”
he said.
Her Excellency Hala Badri, Director General of Dubai Culture, noted the projects strengthen the zone’s appeal as a destination for creatives, entrepreneurs, and investors. She emphasized that the improvements complement Dubai’s strategy to position culture as a key economic driver and support innovation within the city’s creative economy.
The Al Quoz Creative Zone master plan anticipates growth from 900 to 20,000 creatives, with 8,000 residents and 33,000 daily visitors. Expanded studio spaces, affordable live-work units, and enhanced public areas are designed to cultivate artistic activity and economic opportunity, establishing the zone as one of the world’s largest creative districts.
