Internet City! Mr. Ali is the Executive Director of EnPark, a free-zone which will focus on energy efficiency and a New Urbanist development model, which tends to include mixed-use (commercial and residential) construction, walkable neighborhoods, and a more traditional sense of community. Mr. Ali cites the lack of quality of life and community in Dubai as the motivation to pursue New Urban development principles. Dense and mixed-use development is more sustainable than sprawl development that has covered Dubai, and the other Emirates. Alternative energy, transit, and efficiency initiatives coupled with this development project, EnPark will become a standard model for other similar developments across the United Arab Emirates.
