Dubai speeds up plans to enhance quality of life
Mattar Al Tayer, Chairman of the Supreme Committee for Urban Planning, chaired the Committee's 33rd meeting, where key strategies and projects aligned with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan were reviewed. The meeting also reviewed the progress in achieving the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to establish Dubai as the world's best city to live in. Mattar Al Tayer said: 'Under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and the guidance of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, as well as His Highness Sheikh Maktoum Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, First Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Finance of the UAE, Dubai is set to witness the launch of major transformational projects aimed at enhancing quality of life.' 'The Committee will focus on implementing plans and projects that enhance community wellbeing, aligning with the objectives of the 'Year of Community' initiative, which seeks to strengthen social bonds and foster a cohesive and prosperous society. Additionally, efforts will drive development and investment in five urban centres, supporting economic diversification, business growth, and job creation. These initiatives will also address housing and essential services, advancing the objectives of the '20-Minute City' concept while reinforcing Dubai's global leadership in urban planning through the adoption of innovative planning systems,' added Al Tayer. 'Additionally, efforts will focus on a city beautification strategy and the development of projects and initiatives in Dubai's countryside and rural areas, enhancing the experience for both residents and visitors. Dubai remains committed to advancing development plans and projects that further enhance its global leadership in quality of life,' he said. Streamlining procedures Al Tayer highlighted that the Supreme Committee for Urban Planning has successfully enhanced the workflow system, streamlining procedures for the approval of new real estate projects across the emirate. 'The total value of projects benefiting from the facilitated approval process exceeds Dhs55 billion, with a 60% reduction in approval time for transactions involving development project lands. 450 million square feet of land had also been allocated for citizen housing, while more than 50 master plans and projects had been reviewed and approved in line with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which aims to double the size of Dubai's economy and position it among the world's top three urban economies by 2033. 'With the support of our leadership, the past year witnessed the launch of several strategic programmes aimed at driving Dubai's development and strengthening its global competitiveness. At the forefront of these initiatives is the Dubai Quality of Life Strategy 2033, which features over 200 projects and initiatives across 10 key pillars focusing on individuals, society, and the city — placing people at the heart of development.' Al Tayer said that the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) plan was also approved, aiming to optimise land use around Dubai Metro stations, meet residents' needs, and support the 20-Minute City concept by increasing metro and sustainable transport use. He also highlighted the launch of the master plan for the Saih Al-Salam corridor, which includes the development of five service and recreational stations across Dubai's rural areas. These projects will be implemented in partnership with the private sector, he noted. Pedestrian-Friendly City Among the landmark projects approved in 2024 is the comprehensive master plan for pedestrian pathways, 'Dubai Walk', which envisions the development of over 6,500 kilometres of pedestrian paths across 160 areas, transforming Dubai into a year-round pedestrian-friendly city. The first phase includes two key pedestrian routes. The Al Ras Loop is a 15-kilometre pathway linking major historical landmarks in Al Ras, including five kilometres along the waterfront. The Future Loop, situated near the Museum of the Future, features an iconic architectural bridge spanning two kilometres, with a width ranging between six to 15 metres. The bridge will connect 10 key locations and will include an air-conditioned level covering 30,000 square metres, providing a comfortable walking experience throughout the year, in addition to 30,000 square metres of open spaces incorporating shaded areas and green spaces. Furthermore, the 'Super Block' initiative will be introduced as an urban space design concept within the Dubai Walk master plan. This concept will be piloted in several areas, including Al Fahidi, Abu Hail, Al Karama, and Al Quoz Creative Zone.
