Next along Sheikh Zayed Road is East Central; a more compact quarter approximately 10m ft² in area and with a population of 37,000. This quarter is more centrally located between freeway interchanges 9 and 10 and is easily reached from both JAFZA North and JAFZA south. As with East Quarter, a centrally located Metro station opens into a plaza in the heart of the Urban Centre. East Central extends east and west from the Urban Centre into Trellis Districts and finally to the Medina Districts, situated at each end of the quarter.
