The tightly knit city will also feature a super efficient public transportation system that runs both horizontally and vertically, and plans are being drawn up to utilize both public and private green spaces for agricultural opportunities.According to the International Institute for the Urban Environment, the technologies incorporated into the Ziggurat project will make it a viable metropolis, and Timlinks has responded by quickly patenting the design and technology developed for the project. \u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">(<\/span><a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #339966;\" title=\"Dubai Ziggurat\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mymodernmet.com\/profiles\/blogs\/2100445:BlogPost:24226?context=tag-architecture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">source<\/a><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[easy-share buttons=&#8221;facebook,twitter,linkedin,mail&#8221; counters=0 native=&#8221;no&#8221; image=https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/yusuke-asai-waf-1.jpg url=https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/?p=8558 facebook_text=Share twitter_text=Tweet\u00a0linkedin_text=Link text=&#8221;Dubai Ziggurat&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div> <div  style='height:10px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_two_third '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div> <div class=\"flex_column av_two_third  flex_column_div first  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_third  \" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8561 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/timezig21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"675\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/timezig21.jpg 675w, https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/timezig21-142x80.jpg 142w, https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/timezig21-450x253.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/p><\/div> <div class=\"flex_column av_one_third  flex_column_div   avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_two_third  avia-builder-el-last  \" ><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The ginormous pyramid will cover 2.3 square kilometers and will be able to sustain a \u201ccommunity\u201d of up to 1 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":8559,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-architecture"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8558"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8558"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8558\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18308,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8558\/revisions\/18308"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
