RTA takes part in Garden & Landscaping Outdoor Living Exhibition

The event boasts participation of 150 exhibitors from 23 countries specialized in gardens & outdoor landscaping.

Engineer Nabeel Mohammed Saleh, Director of Roads Dep't at RTA Traffic & Roads Agency, spoke about the objectives of RTA participation in this premier global exhibition.

"We are intending to showcase the important role played by Roads Beautification & Landscaping Section at RTA Traffic & Roads Agency in upgrading & expanding greenery in areas surrounding roads, which is part of an overall plan to keep abreast of urban development expansion in the emirate of Dubai.

"RTA participation also aims to have a presence in this world event and exchange concepts & experiments with suppliers and specialized entities. It will also enable us to review the best practices & latest technologies in the field of plantation & landscaping. We will be able to explore the possibility of applying these aspects in Dubai, with a view to applying them in our future projects.

"RTA is having a prominent stand covering an area of 295 square feet; where a group of projects undertaken by the Section will be exhibited, reflecting various phases ranging from design to full implementation. By the end of last February, RTA completed works in seven large landscaping projects costing about 60 million dirham, spanning an area of 98 hectares. Construction of more projects is underway at various locations in the emirate of Dubai, and they are expected to be completed during this year" said Nabeel.

Traffic & Roads Agency has an integrated plan aiming to expand the green areas in the emirate and create a picturesque view of roads & surrounding patios.

The Plan envisages provision of safety & security elements, artistic effects, and environmental requirements.

The fast-moving property development in Dubai warrants keeping in place a modern road network, and applying innovative concepts of road landscaping.

The exhibition marks the significance attached to outdoor landscaping sector in Dubai in particular and the whole region in general; and also showcases the required tools & equipment for indoor & outdoor decoration.
