Lyon Dubai City Explained

Lyon Dubaï City is a project being developed by the city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.^[1]

The project

• The project “Lyon-Dubai City” began with a meeting between Buti Saeed Al Ghandi, chairman of Emivest, and decision makers of the city of Lyon.
• During a trip to Lyon a promoter from the United States, Buti Saeed al-Gandhi, became fond of the city. He thought of the idea of the construction of a neighborhood that would recreate the atmosphere of Lyon and some of its notable buildings in Dubai.^[2]
