District 2020 is the smart city legacy of Expo 2020 Dubai. It is being developed on the same site that hosted the world exhibition, transforming it into a permanent community focused on innovation, sustainability, and high quality of life. The area covers more than four square kilometers and was designed from the start to support modern urban living with advanced technology and green infrastructure.

It will bring together residents, businesses, and research institutions in a setting that promotes creativity and collaboration. The community is planned as a “15 minute city” where work, education, shopping, and leisure are all within walking or cycling distance. This design supports a healthy lifestyle and reduces the need for long commutes.

District 2020 will feature smart mobility solutions, energy efficient buildings, and large public spaces. Many of the striking pavilions from Expo 2020 will remain as cultural and business landmarks, creating a unique mix of architecture and innovation.

As part of Dubai’s 2040 Urban Master Plan, District 2020 is set to become one of the city’s five main urban centers, attracting companies in fields such as technology, science, and sustainability. It offers a forward looking environment where global talent can live, work, and connect in one place.
