Dubai is home to one of the world’s largest sustainable development projects and images of the site have just been shared from space.

From 400metres up, the pics show the entire 77 km2 area of the single-solar site, which is located out in Al Qudra, approximately 50km from the South of Dubai.

The first phase was launched in 2013 at a cost of AED14.2 billion, the second phase was commissioned in 2017 and the third phase is expected to be completed in 2020

The images were share by Earth Observation programme Copernicus

The sustainable park is expected to generate 1,000MW by 2020, and 5,000MW by 2030, and to achieve green-house gas emission reductions of 208,177tCO2 annually, according to DEWA
