Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC)
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The DIFC Authority commissioned Gensler to create a comprehensive master plan for the city’s rapidly expanding financial sector, comprising two million square meters and a number of flagship buildings. Providing a rigorous physical organization of buildings and spaces around integrated transport and utility infrastructure, the plan also established new long-term planning and design guidelines that would ensure the proper implementation of the 48-hectare project and set a new standard for future large-scale development projects.
