The deal builds upon the longstanding partnership between ADEC and AtkinsRéalis, further solidifying AtkinsRéalis’s role in shaping the urban transformation initiatives in the region.
Matthew Tribe, Senior Vice President and Global Lead, Buildings and Places, AtkinsRéalis Middle East and Africa said, “Baku White City reflects the direction in which cities are evolving, shaped around how people live, move, and connect over time. Conceived as a coherent urban district, the development brings together environmental restoration, infrastructure and community life within a single long-term vision. Our continued work on the waterfront builds on that foundation, applying global experience and local understanding to shape a public edge that is well connected, adaptable and designed to support the city’s growth for generations to come.”
Rufat Javadov, Director, Baku White City, ADEC added, “Baku White City is a national priority that reflects Azerbaijan’s ambition to transform legacy industrial land into a vibrant and sustainable urban environment. Our collaboration with AtkinsRéalis has been central to shaping a clear and deliverable vision from the earliest stages of the programme. This next phase builds on that partnership, enhancing connectivity and elevating the waterfront as a key part of how the city continues to grow and evolve.”

As Lead Design Consultant, AtkinsRéalis delivered master planning and buildings design in collaboration with Foster + Partners and F+A Architects, establishing a framework defined by architectural diversity, ecological compatibility and integration with the existing urban fabric, said a statement.
The master plan, underpinned by a sustainability ambition that spans social, economic, and environmental performance, prioritises a balanced mix of residential, commercial, and public spaces. This includes a strong emphasis on accessible, affordable housing and high-quality urban environments.
