SEE Holding, the sustainability-focused entity behind the globally acclaimed model of The Sustainable City, is set to unveil its latest groundbreaking venture at the Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) Congress 2025 in Abu Dhabi. The unveiling will showcase The Sustainable City 2.0 (TSC 2.0), a next-generation urban model designed to be AI-driven, net-zero, and human-centric.
A Decade of Innovation: The Evolution of The Sustainable City
Ten years after establishing The Sustainable City as a global benchmark, SEE Holding is once again setting a new standard for future urban development. TSC 2.0 goes beyond being a smart city—it’s a dynamic city that thinks, adapts, and evolves. By integrating advanced intelligence into urban infrastructure, TSC 2.0 offers a resilient and future-ready environment that aims to lead the charge toward sustainable, intelligent living.
Key Features of TSC 2.0: A City Designed for Sustainability and Human Well-Being
At the core of TSC 2.0 lies its commitment to environmental sustainability. The city integrates smart systems that optimize every aspect of urban life:
- Food Security: Vertical farms and precision agriculture powered by real-time monitoring and automation help maximize yield with minimal resources.
- Clean Energy: A mix of solar, biogas, wind, and micro-hydrokinetic sources provides clean energy, while intelligent grids balance supply and demand to maintain net-zero emissions.
- Water Conservation: Technologies capture and reuse water, detect leaks instantly, and generate water from air, ensuring every drop is preserved.
- Waste as a Resource: Waste is repurposed, recycled, or converted into energy, supporting a resilient circular economy.
- Climate Control: The city features passive and active design elements, including evaporative cooling and micro wind turbines, to maintain a cooler microclimate.
Next-Generation Mobility and Wellness Infrastructure
In TSC 2.0, transportation is fully electric and autonomous, featuring shared e-cars, e-bikes, self-driving shuttles, and last-mile delivery robots. Every home is equipped with drone pads for contactless delivery. The city also emphasizes wellness, with pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods, motion-activated running tracks, solar-heated pools, and energy-efficient gyms.
AI and Human-Centric Design
TSC 2.0 is designed with the well-being of its residents at its core. Learning environments are next-generation classrooms, while healthcare is proactive, supported by digital monitoring systems that enable early intervention. The city is not just about advanced technology—it’s about creating stronger human connections, improving quality of life, and offering more time for residents to enjoy a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
SEE Holding’s Vision for the Future
“This is not a vision of the distant future. It is a model we are building today, driven by AI, achieving Net Zero, and designed around people,” said Faris Saeed, Chairman and CEO of SEE Holding. “The Sustainable City 2.0 is the culmination of everything we’ve learned, enhanced by intelligent systems, and built with a clear purpose: to ensure people remain at the center of progress in a rapidly evolving, AI-driven world.”
Proven Success: The Legacy of The Sustainable City
The original Sustainable City in Dubai has been a working blueprint for future cities, achieving remarkable environmental and economic outcomes. Since its launch, it has reduced carbon emissions by 78% and diverted 89% of waste away from landfills. It has also earned the title of the “happiest community in the GCC,” and the model has expanded to other regions, including Sharjah, Abu Dhabi (Yas Island), and Yiti in Oman.
Experience The Future of Cities at AIM Congress 2025
AIM Congress 2025 attendees will have the opportunity to engage with SEE Holding’s innovative vision for the future of urban living through an interactive showcase at the event, taking place from April 7th to 9th. This unique opportunity will allow participants to experience firsthand the self-sufficient, smart, and resilient model that defines the city of tomorrow.
