The full explanation

Livability is often a subjective term, but in real estate, it is mathematically defined by the Floor-to-Area Ratio (FAR). Dubai Islands is designed as an "evolved and lower density version" of legacy projects. While Palm Jumeirah has an FAR of 1.2% and Palm Jebel Ali is at 0.8%, Dubai Islands boasts an FAR of only 0.6%. This means the "concrete footprint" surrounding a resident is significantly lower—effectively half that of the original Palm. In the case of Siora, out of a 200,000 square meter land parcel, the developer has left 140,000 square meters (70%) as open space. Only 1,500 residences will occupy this massive area. For an investor, this represents a "Fortress Asset"; as generic high-density developments become overcrowded, the rarity of a low-density, high-open-space destination like Siora will drive massive resale premiums and resident retention.
