Sadly, all good things must come to an end…

And as Expo 2020 Dubai inches closer to the D-Day, residents are not only flocking to the site to savour final memories of the attractions but are also curious as to what will come of the expansive 1083-acre plot.

A Dubai-based school teacher, Thomas Blakemore AKA Mr B has been super active in showcasing the world fair in all its glory on his socials, and as the expo wraps up – Mr B breaks down what residents can expect post-March 31, 2022.

Expo 2020 Dubai will reopen on October 1, 2022, as District 2022, a smart 15-minute-city

What makes it a 15-min city you ask?!

Attractions, schools, hospitals, shops, offices, parks and homes will all be at a 15-minute distance from each other and within a 2km2 range: sounds like Expo is phasing into a mini-town, where life’s nothing but peachy🍑
