With the rise of standard heatwaves across Europe, European countries are looking to benefit from the Gulf cities' expertise in effectively and sustainably cooling urban areas. Gulf solutions that European studies are beginning to examine include central cooling networks, heat-reflective surfaces, and smart urban design, all aimed at reducing the impact of heat on public health and economic efficiency. Dubai, in particular, serves as one of the largest urban testing grounds for these solutions, utilizing centralized cooling networks capable of efficiently managing demand, with a goal to increase the share of centralized cooling to 40% by 2030. Gulf cooling technologies also rely on improvements in building design and measures to reduce the urban heat island effect, focusing on insulation, shading, and tree planting. Europe faces challenges in implementing these solutions, such as the high energy consumption of open buildings and the difficulty of developing cooling networks in old neighborhoods, which may lead it to adopt a selective approach that combines centralized cooling with more cost-effective options. Gulf expertise stands out as an important reference for future projects aimed at urban adaptation to rising temperatures, presenting opportunities to export these solutions and technologies worldwide.
