Downtown Circle is a proposed megastructure in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The project is designed by ZNera Space, an architecture firm based in Dubai. Downtown Circle would be a 550-meter-tall ring that would encircle the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest skyscraper. The ring would be 3,000 meters in circumference and would house residential, commercial, and public spaces.[1][2][3]

The project is designed to be sustainable and self-sufficient. The ring would be powered by renewable energy and would have a green belt that would provide food and oxygen for the residents. The ring would also have a system of canals and waterfalls that would help to cool the air and provide a habitat for wildlife.[4]
