SEE Holding Unveils Sustainable City 2.0: AI-Driven Net-Zero Urban Living
This pioneering project aims to redefine sustainable city development through advanced technology and community-focused design.
SEE Holding, the innovation leader behind the internationally recognized concept of The Sustainable City, is setting a new milestone at this year’s Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) Congress in Abu Dhabi. The company is showcasing an immersive, next-generation urban concept: The Sustainable City 2.0 (TSC 2.0) — a city designed to be intelligent, net zero, and centred around human well-being.
Redefining the Future of Urban Living
Ten years after launching The Sustainable City as a global model of eco-living, SEE Holding is once again redefining how cities are built and operated. TSC 2.0 brings artificial intelligence to the core of urban infrastructure, creating communities that are not only environmentally responsible but also self-learning and adaptive to change.
A City Where Technology Powers Sustainability
Central to TSC 2.0 is the seamless integration of smart systems that enable sustainable living. The city boosts food security with vertical farming and precision agriculture, using automation and data to optimize food production with minimal resources. Energy needs are met through diverse renewable sources — solar, wind, biogas, and even micro-hydrokinetic systems — all balanced by intelligent grids to maintain net-zero emissions. Advanced water systems detect leaks, recycle greywater, and even generate water from humidity in the air to ensure conservation at every level.
Waste-Free, Climate-Responsive Living
In TSC 2.0, waste is no longer waste — it's a resource. Everything is reused, recycled, or converted to clean energy, reducing landfill dependency and supporting a resilient circular economy. The city’s design fosters a cooler climate through architectural innovation, natural ventilation, and renewable-powered cooling systems. Mobility is completely electric and autonomous, with shared e-mobility options, self-driving transit, and smart delivery systems using robots and drones to deliver right to residents’ doors.
“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,” stated Faris Saeed, Chairman and CEO of SEE Holding. “Building on years of experience and success with pioneering sustainable communities, we are now introducing a revolutionary urban model that is designed not just for today—but for generations to come. Sustainable City 2.0 is the culmination of everything we’ve learned, enhanced by the power of intelligent systems and built around a clear purpose: to ensure people remain at the centre of progress in a rapidly evolving, AI-driven world.”
A City Designed Around People
More than just tech-savvy, TSC 2.0 is built to enrich human life. Walkable neighbourhoods encourage community interaction and connect people with green spaces. Wellness features include sensor-activated tracks, eco-heated swimming pools, and energy-conscious fitness centres. Education evolves through immersive learning spaces and innovation labs, while digital health tools enable proactive medical care and wellness tracking. Every element works in harmony to provide a connected, fulfilling lifestyle.
A Proven Legacy, Now Evolving
The original Sustainable City in Dubai has already proven its value — reducing carbon emissions by 78% and diverting 89% of waste from landfills. Recognized as the “happiest community in the GCC,” this pioneering model has expanded its reach to other regions, including Sharjah, Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, and Yiti in Oman.
Explore the Future Firsthand at AIM Congress 2025
From April 7 to 9, attendees of AIM Congress 2025 can step into the future through SEE Holding’s interactive showcase. This hands-on experience will demonstrate how TSC 2.0 merges smart technology with sustainable design to create self-sufficient, resilient, and human-centric cities.
