2= Capital District
Project Overview
The Capital District
will be an administrative and educational hub for the UAE, housing federal ministries and foreign embassies, as well as think tanks, universities and schools in the centre of the federal capital.
It is located to the south of the existing Abu Dhabi city centre and is being developed as part of the Abu Dhabi 2030 economic strategy. At the heart of the new district will be a federal precinct that will serve as the national seat of government.
There will also be a central business district, providing space for 150,000 office workers, a 65,000-seat stadium, exhibition and conference space, as well as up to 1,000 hotel rooms. The residential neighbourhoods will cover 3 sq km and offer housing for 68,000 people.
