The site (Al Jaddaf waterfront) lies between some well know old settlements and developing ones. Populous settlements around the creek region include Deira, Bur Dubai, oud metha, healthcare city and Festival city. The site is surrounded by many waterfront developments that anticipate the creek harbour that houses the next tallest structure (creek tower) in Dubai. Waterfront developments include Dubai Design District, healthcare city 2 and culture village phase 2. The rise of new highly focused development projects would boost the potential of Jaddaf into a thriving economic node of the creek.
THE UPCOMING CREEK TOWER AT FESTIVAL CITY ON THE SOUTH - EAST OF THE SITE IS A KEY DEVELOPEMENT AT THE WATERFRONT. DESIGNED BY SANTIAGO CALATRAVA, THE CREEK TOWER WOULD BECOME THE TALLEST BUILDING IN THE WORLD BY 2021, TRANSFORMING THE SURROUNDING CONTEXT INTO A VIBRANT ECONOMIC ZONE
METRO STATIONS ARE IMPORTANT MARKERS THAT INDICATE HIGH POPULATION DENSITIES AND CONNECTIVITIES. BY UNDERSTANDING HOW JADDAF IS CONNECTED TO THE METRO NETWORK, IT IS POSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND THE DENSITIES OF PEOPLE MOVING IN AND OUT OF THE AREA
OUD METHA BEING THE CENTERPOINT FOR THE THREE ARRAYS OF NETWORK AND THE HUB OF HEALTHCARE, RELIGIOUS STRUCTURES AND EDUCATION, JADDAF RECEIVES ITS VOLUME OF TRAFFIC ORIGINATING AROUND IT. THE AVAILABILITY OF 2 MAIN HIGHWAYS NAMELY AL KHAIL AND SHEIKH RASHID ROADS ALSO ENSURE GOOD CONNECTIVITY TO VARIOUS PARTS OF THE CITY.
