SEE Holding Partners with Micropolis to Power AI-Driven Sustainable City 2.0
SEE Holding has joined forces with UAE-based robotics and AI firm Micropolis to accelerate the rollout of smart infrastructure across The Sustainable City 2.0 — a next-generation, AI-driven urban model aimed at redefining climate-resilient living.
The partnership combines SEE Holding's expertise in sustainable urban development with Micropolis's advanced robotics, surveillance systems, and smart mobility solutions. Together, they aim to build fully connected, adaptive cities that optimise energy, water, waste, and mobility in real time, while enhancing the wellbeing of residents.
Unveiled earlier this month, The Sustainable City 2.0 builds on the success of SEE Holding's award-winning urban model, which has already cut emissions by 78% and diverted 89% of waste from landfills in Dubai. The upgraded version integrates artificial intelligence into every layer of infrastructure, allowing the city to 'think, adapt, and evolve' as it grows. 'With The Sustainable City 2.0, we are building an urban blueprint for a more intelligent, climate-resilient future,'
said Faris Saeed, Chairman and CEO of SEE Holding. 'Our strategic partnership with Micropolis will empower us to deliver seamless AI integration at the infrastructure level.'
Fareed Aljawhari, CEO of Micropolis, called the move a step toward global impact. 'The Sustainable City gave us a real environment to refine our robotics platforms. With TSC 2.0, we're proud to take this partnership global and deliver automation built for the cities of tomorrow.'
The partnership marks a significant milestone in SEE Holding's mission to scale its sustainable city model worldwide, positioning The Sustainable City 2.0 as a replicable, tech-enabled solution to urban climate challenges.

Dubai: Luxurious hotels at cheap prices? Offer may be a scam, warn authorities
Saw a low-priced staycation venue with high-quality amenities, stunning views, and a feel of quiet luxury? Don't jump to book just yet. Authorities in Dubai have warned of fake staycation and getaway offers. Such scammers may use visuals of what seems to be elegant hotels or beach chalets to lure potential victims. While you may be looking to surprise your loved ones with a well-deserved break, they might get a different kind of surprise if you show up to the location only to realise that no such venue exists. Scam getaway location listings may ask for your financial details, and once the transaction is processed, stop answering calls or responding to messages. Dubai Police emphasised the importance of booking through trusted agents and websites, in a video advisory posted on X.

The UAE has frozen petrol prices for consumers in June 2025. Petrol prices will be unchanged from May, with a slight decrease for diesel as fuel costs remain stable.
