Would love to see this happen. ❣️ Sounds like an awesome initiative for a sometimes hostile environment. 🚲🌞

Dubai is considering a bold urban mobility project designed to reshape how people move through the city without relying on cars. The Loop is envisioned as a continuous, enclosed pathway that prioritizes walking and cycling across long distances.

The concept comes from urban design firm URB and aligns with Dubai’s wider push toward healthier, more human-centered city planning. By encouraging active transport, the project aims to reduce traffic congestion and lower carbon emissions.

One of the most striking features is climate control, with internal temperatures planned around 23°C even during extreme summer heat. This would make outdoor movement possible year-round in a region where temperatures often exceed 40°C.

The Loop is also designed to run on renewable energy while integrating green spaces, water features, and smart infrastructure. These elements are intended to improve air quality and overall urban well-being.

If realized, the project could influence future city planning worldwide by showing how dense, car-dependent cities can transition toward sustainable and people-first mobility systems.

An important report was released recently without much fanfare or media attention. We at SRD Change think it should get much more readership as the consequences are huge.

Super concept and SRD keeps encouraging growth in all aspects of Responsible Design thinking and action. Circular is brilliant in concept yet hard to implement in most cases. These steps address what is missing for the rest… srd.org.au

The circular economy is already a reality in many corners of the world. But how does it work?

By centering the reuse, repair, and rerouting of goods to prevent waste from piling up in landfills and oceans, and to slow or stop the production of stuff we don't actually need.

The vision board would say: quality, intention, community. 🔮👀🫂

Sounds much better than the that makes, uses, and discards goods at the expense of vulnerable ecosystems and communities, no?

Where do you see in use? Where would you like to see them? Let us know in the comments.
