to design four new projects as part of the Jumeirah Garden master plan. In contrary to most Dubai urbanizations, this one will be erected on built-up ground, Al Satwa is a lively quarter of about 100.000 people. In the next years, the mainly poor and lower middle class inhabitants have to leave their houses, shops, workshops and apartments for demolition. They may get a financial compensation, but many of them are not able to pay the higher house prices or rent in Jumeirah garden city. It is a case of top-down gentrification by pure capital interests: Al Satwa's area is - adjacent to Financial District, Burj Khalifa and Business Bay
- a pearl.
The development will redefine living standards of the people living in neighborhoods of Dubai, The project will comprise seven distinct areas, taking up approximately 110000000 square feet (10,219,334.4 m²) of land, including the self reclaimed artificial islands. One section
will host Dubai Park, which will be half the size of Safa Park
.Phase one of Jumeirah Gardens will cover around 820,000 square meters.
