An urban design firm is hoping to create the "world's greenest highway" by covering a major road in Dubai with gardens, trees, walkways and solar panels.

The proposed 64-kilometer-long road, called the "Dubai Green Spine," would see the Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Road, one of Dubai's main highways, enhanced with over 1 million trees and enough solar panels to power 130,000 homes.

Dubai-based design firm URB says its road concept would help reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 1 million metric tons per year, and help the city manage the needs of a population that's expected to grow from over 3 million today to nearly 8 million by 2040.

URB's design aims to reduce city heat and improve air quality while offering a safe, attractive and accessible route for commuting and leisure. Green spaces would be combined with walking and cycling paths, and electric tram lines would have solar panels built directly into the tracks.

Bus shelters and elevators would have rooftop solar panels, while garden-covered paths over the highway would make a walk from one side to the other easy and enjoyable.

URB CEO Baharash Bagherian says the concept is about "proving that our streets can do more than facilitate car traffic; they can significantly enhance quality of life."

He says the design takes a "human-centric approach" that prioritizes people and green spaces over cars.

However, it takes a lot of water to grow plants in Dubai. CNN notes that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) already consumes around 550 liters of water per person every day, compared to an average of 310 liters in the US and 144 liters in the European Union.

And most of the UAE's water isn't used for drinking — it's just needed to keep parts of the desert country green.

With this in mind, URB's design includes drought-resistant plants and special soil that helps retain water.

URB has also proposed designs for a 93-kilometer indoor cycling and walking "highway" called

第十六课 lesson 16

Un día me encontraba en una cafetería trabajando con mi NOTEBOOK, mientras esperaba a mi amiga para compartir un delicioso BRUNCH. Habíamos acordado vernos para planear nuestro próximo SAFARI juntas, un HOBBY que adquirimos cuando nos volvimos FANS de un BLOG de amantes de la naturaleza. Lo primero que hice fue conectarme al WIFI del lugar, silencié mi SMARTPHONE para evitar las notificaciones de las APPS, activé mi PLAYLIST de música funcional, y ordené un MILKSHAKE con un MUFFIN. Luego, consulté en internet un listado de los mejores HOSTELS y resorts ALL-INCLUSIVE para enviarles un par de EMAILS con consultas. Varios de ellos incluían CHATS en sus páginas WEB y LINKS a páginas de turismo. De tanto investigar, encontré un hermoso BUNGALÓ con varias comodidades PREMIUM: TV, SNACKS saludables, un área de COWORKING, acceso a un campo de GOLF, una pequeña cancha de HANDBALL, sesiones de FITNESS gratuitas, POOL PARTIES y SHOWS nocturnos con DJ incluido. Este lugar se encontraba en el TOP TEN del RANKING de alojamientos más recomendados y estaba ubicado en una zona muy visitada por los amantes del TREKKING y el RUNNING. 
Luego, TABLET en mano y con un bonito OUTFIT (JEANS azules, un SHALL y un SWEATER BEIGE), llegó mi amiga algo nerviosa. Volvía de un CASTING donde había grabado un VIDEOCLIP, había hecho un TEST muy difícil y el FEEDBACK que recibió no fue tan bueno. Se sentó, se roció un bonito BODY SPLASH, ordenó un SANDWICH con PICKLES, un menú VEGGIE con ROLLS muy deliciosos y un jugo DETOX. Nos sacamos una SELFIE sin FLASH, me habló de los SHORTS y BIKINIS que compró para el viaje, y conversamos sobre mi nuevo trabajo de MARKETING y asesoría de COPYRIGHT en el que ofrezco un amplio PORTFOLIO de servicios. Entre mis clientes, se encuentran autores de BEST SELLERS, programas de REALITIES, desarrolladores de SOFTWARE, algunos INFLUENCERS y profesores de COACHING ontológico.  
Seguidamente, hablamos de nuestro viaje y, al terminar, partimos hacia nuestro CLUB favorito.
