Dubai is a city of contrasts, where desert and sea, heritage and futurism, commerce and conservation meet. Reading Dubai through the lens of feng shui means attending to form and flow, to the orchestration of landforms, waters, winds, urban scale, and symbolic architectures that shape collective experience. Dubai’s particular geography, culture and values can be embedded in evidence from environmental psychology, feng shui and urban policy. Dubai’s planners articulate a people-centred, polycentric vision to 2040, emphasising liveability, nature stewardship, and wellbeing. That civic intention is not incidental in feng shui terms. Intention, pattern, and practice interact. Where the macro-form supports the micro-habits of everyday life, wellbeing can be amplified.
