Charging points are integrated into lighting poles as well, making everyday services more convenient and accessible for the visitors, according to the Civility Committee.

While the smart benches feature wireless charging pads, the lighting poles are equipped with USB charging ports protected by waterproof covers. The lighting poles feature dual USB-A charging ports rated at 1A and 2.1A.

“At Dubai Water Canal, smart seating combines solar power, charging technology and practical design, reflecting public spaces built around people and a better quality of life,” the Committee said.

It pointed out that civility can be seen in the details that make the city experience more comfortable and convenient, and that thoughtful touches help create better, more efficient public spaces for everyone.
