“In everything UAE is doing, whether it is building roads, bridges and other forms of infrastructure, electricity and other utilities, and housing for 
the expatriates drawn to its fast growing economy, it will be reducing risk if the designs are made to withstand any disaster and critical situations,” said Dr Mukesh Kapila, Chief Executive of the PHG Foundation in Cambridge, UK and special adviser to the United Nations in Afghanistan, the Khaleej Times reports.
