This Monday (13) in your ANBA Bulletin (13): The book Why do You Dance When You Walk? by Abdourahman Waberi of African Arab country Djibouti is launching in Brazil. Previously unpublished in Brazil, the novel is set in the country of origin of Waberi and will be launched by publishing house Tabla. After Expo 2020 Dubai ends in late March 2022, the venue hosting the exhibition will be transformed into District 2020, a human-centric city with distances of up to 15 minutes on foot or by bicycle. And Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro delivered the Rio Branco Order insignia to the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce last week. |

Expo 2020 Dubai to be transformed into city of the future
| |
 |
Imagine living in a sustainable city that consumes less power and is focused on the well-being of people who can easily cross distances of up to 15 minutes to get to their homes, workplaces, markets, pharmacies, entertainment venues and all daily activities on foot or by bicycle. That is the proposal of District 2020, the legacy of Expo 2020 Dubai that will start turning into a neighborhood-city as soon as the exhibition ends in late March 2022. The district is set to keep growing throughout its phases so that within 30 years it will be home to 150,000 residents.
