Abstract

This case study examines the different ways in which rapid development in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has resulted in a vast increase in pollution and its severe consequences. It focuses on the new and upcoming construction projects along with the already existing projects and how their existence has impacted the environment through pollution. The paper also assesses the intense population growth the country has faced, and looks at how an increase in automobile has decreased the quality of air and its effects on human health. Lastly, the paper looks at how the UAE plans to solve pollution problems through public awareness, campaigns and sustainable innovation.
