Masdar City Masterplan (Abu Dhabi)
Low-carbon aerotropolis-adjacent masterplan next to AUH.
Foster + Partners authored the Masdar City masterplan adjacent to Abu Dhabi International Airport, integrating low-carbon district design with aviation-linked economic zones. The 640-hectare masterplan is a reference for aerotropolis-style planning and walk-/transit-first site layouts near airport land.
