Lord Rogers of Riverside, the British architect behind iconic buildings such as Paris’ Pompidou Centre and London’s Millennium Dome, today congratulated Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE for their urban development and foresight.
Speaking at the World Future Energy Summit, Lord Rogers said he was “extremely impressed with this city – it has grown up from nothing in a short space of time and committed to sustainable plans.”
Describing the UAE as being at “a crosssroads between east and west, between north and south, and conscious of that”, Lord Rogers added that visiting the summit – featuring some of the planet’s biggest names in sustainability and renewables – had been “a delight more than a business trip.”
“I am immensely impressed that the UAE – a country empowered by fossil fuels – is the venue for such a conference,” continued Lord Rogers.
“It proves that it really is looking to the future.”
