  1. Climate Zones Desert Climate Zone In many cities featuring a hot desert climate, maximum temperatures of 40°C to 45°C. During colder periods of the year, night-time temperatures can drop to freezing or below. Such areas include the Sahara, Saudi Arabia, large parts of Iran and Iraq, northwest India, southwestern United States, Northern Mexico, South Africa , U.A.E and . much of Australia Dubai Dubi located on desert climate zone

  2. Dubai

  3. XeritownType of project :Urban planning Estimated start : December 2008 of construction

  4. Xeritown provides a sustainable development in one of the fastest growing cities of the world: Dubai. It is located in Dubailand, a new extension of the city towards the inland desert.

  5. The design This is done in immediate reaction to the sun conditions to achieve a compact shaded fabric with strong reference to the traditional context: its structure is defined by alternating narrow pedestrian alleys and small squares, typical of Arabic towns.

  6. Wind This urban tissue is divided in strips or islands that are orientated so to gain from the prevailing winds crossing the site. The cool breeze from the sea is channeled between the islands and through the longitudinal cuts in the urban fabric, while the hot wind from the desert is deviated above the development. Natural ventilation is enhanced by a rugged skyline breaking up air flows on the scale of both low rises and towers.

  7. Strategies for conservation of resources: Reduction of demand of potable water thanks to low water-use appliances, gray water recycling for irrigation and water saving irrigation systems.
