Masdar City

Common card · No. 290233

Masdar City (Arabic: مدينة مصدر, romanized: Madīnat Maṣdar, lit. 'source city') is an urban community in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. It was built by Masdar, a subsidiary of the state-owned Mubadala Investment Company, with the majority of seed capital provided by the government of Abu Dhabi. Launched in 2006 as a $22 billion state-funded project to construct "the world's most sustainable eco-city" by 2016, the start date for the project has since been delayed indefinitely. By 2023, only 15,000 people lived and worked in Masdar City (of whom 5,000 were residents), and the community covered less than a sixth of the area it was intended to cover.
