The Royal Commission for AIUIa (RCU) has confirmed its regeneration project- The Journey Through Time Masterplan- that will offer a $15 billion chance to invest in public-private partnership projects.
This project is declared on the anniversary of the announcement of Vision 30.
The Journey Through Time Masterplan is AIUIa’s layout to safeguard 200,000 years of natural and human history across 20 km, according to the regeneration of five heritage districts. Aiming to advocate and set the benchmark for sustainable and responsible investment in destination development with boosting environmental, social, and economic sustainability.
The development strategy is guided by the AIUIa Sustainability Charter that aims at adhering to a carbon-neutral and circular economy and resiliency principles for the development in environmentally sensitive and heritage areas, alongside water and flood management and vegetation planting.
