The Chief Development Officer of Expo City Dubai, Ahmed Al Khatib, clarified that although vehicles would still be found in some areas of the city, the surroundings will be quite favorable for pedestrians. The fresh design of the city deliberately promotes public transportation and walking. Strategically placed large parking centers on the periphery will guarantee resident and visitor convenience. Furthermore used to improve safety in places where vehicles are permitted will be traffic calming techniques and speed limitations. Using smaller roads and speed humps helps these steps to lower speed and increase road safety.

The plan's core concentration is on designing areas accessible for pedestrians. Al Khatib underlined that with car activity limited, pedestrian-centric zones will predominate in the primary activity areas of Expo City. Along with designated paths and sikkas, traditional walkways seen in many metropolitan areas, these pedestrian routes will feature broad sidewalks along major motorized roadways. With 70% of the walkways covered to give shade, the city hopes to provide comfortable paths so that both guests and citizens stay cool even in the warmer months.

The "Green Loop," a main walking path meant to link big natural areas with the metropolitan regions of the city, will be a significant element of the pedestrian network. This road will encourage walking and give access to the surroundings, therefore improving the link between Expo City's urban and natural sections.

Approved in October by UAE Vice-President and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai's ruler, the updated Expo City Dubai plan Situated on the heritage site of Expo 2020 Dubai, the 3.5 square kilometre city is anticipated to house around 35,000 people and 40,000 businesses. More than eighty percent of the infrastructure and buildings initially planned for Expo 2020 will be included into the new metropolis. Key sites including Terra, Alif, the Connect Conference Centre, Al Wasl Plaza, and the UAE Pavilion will all be part of the city's future vision.

Expo City Dubai is being built in stages to guarantee that city expansion fits demands and needs of the market. Al Khatib said that although the first units planned to be available by the first quarter of 2026, activity is already under way with developments like Expo Valley, Mangrove Residences, and Sky Residences.

With others set to join in the not too distant future, the city has already drawn numerous significant worldwide corporations including DP World, Emirates Group, Siemens Energy, and Terminus. Al Khatib pointed out that Expo City presents chances for developers and investors since new business districts are scheduled to open and office spaces are lease-able. For the corporate community, Expo Business District, for instance, is expected to present a new stream of prospects.

Development of the city revolves mostly on residential areas. Expo City will include multiple separate neighborhoods with varying kinds of homes. Expo Hills, for example, will be a low-density residential area; Expo Fields will offer a paradigm for healthy living with schools, athletic fields, and performance venues. While the Downtown district will include the famous Al Wasl dome, Terra Gardens, and mixed-use high-end construction that will be the highest structure in the city, Expo Business District will be a vibrant campus-like environment for enterprises to flourish.

In line with the city's sustainable and community-oriented architecture, a "forest" area is also intended to offer recreational areas, social conveniences, and educational facilities all tucked inside a natural surroundings.
