The Nad Al Sheba Gardens Phase 8 & 9 master plan by Meraas portrays an act of pensive planning, cogitation, originated at an effort to improve the standard of living by raising the bar. The layout, covering large areas, perfectly fits in the natural landscape, with broad walkways, cycle paths and jogging tracks winding through green gardens and quiet water bodies. Each area of the growth has been specially designed to ensure the residents connect better with nature and other fellow inhabitants, so that community and belongingness are developed. Even the provision of communal space, yoga lawns and outdoor theatres make the lifestyle richer by acting as a social place to meet and be active. This overall strategy guarantees the improvements of all aspects of everyday life as a result of the desire of the developer to make the living space whole and environmentally safe.
