SGW were appointed to develop a Security Concept & Detailed Masterplan for Masdar City in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

In 2008, Masdar City broke ground and embarked on a daring journey to develop the world’s most sustainable eco-city.

Through smart investments, Masdar City is successfully pioneering a “greenprint” for how cities can accommodate rapid urbanisation and dramatically reduce energy, water and waste.

The city, which combines ancient Arabic architectural techniques with modern technology and captures prevailing winds is naturally cooler and more comfortable during the high summer temperatures.

SGW’s Security Master Planning Consultants remit was focused on supporting the Lead Master Planning Consultant to obtain Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council (UPC) non-objection certificates (NOC’s), in relation to compliance with safety and security planning and design toolkit principles for the concept and detailed Master Plan for Masdar City, in accordance with the Abu Dhabi Safety & Security Planning Manual (SSPM).
