Plans & Policies Approved to Make Dubai the World’s Best City

Dubai has unveiled a comprehensive set of strategies designed to elevate the emirate into one of the world’s most beautiful, liveable, and advanced cities. The initiatives were approved by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council, during the UAE Annual Government Meetings 2025. The plans align with the vision of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to integrate economic growth, societal wellbeing, and long-term sustainability.

A central highlight is the AED18.3 billion Public Parks and Greenery Strategy, featuring over 800 projects including 310 new parks, upgrades to 322 existing ones, and the expansion of green areas to 187 square kilometres. The initiative aims to triple Dubai’s tree count and ensure residents have easy access to neighbourhood and district parks.

Dubai also advanced its global aviation ambitions with the approval of the Aviation Talent 33 initiative, designed to strengthen the emirate’s position as the aviation capital of the world. It will create 15,000 jobs, provide 4,000 training opportunities, and support Emiratisation in key roles.

Education reforms include the expansion of affordable high-quality schools, targeting 60 new schools and 120,000 seats by 2033. The Sports Sector Strategic Plan 2033 was also endorsed to enhance Dubai’s standing as a global sporting hub through 75 initiatives across priority sports.

Further approvals include establishing a specialised Financial Restructuring and Insolvency Court to reinforce Dubai’s status as a top financial centre, and expanding early detection healthcare services to boost preventative care and life expectancy.

Collectively, these policies reinforce Dubai’s commitment to building a future-ready city that sets global benchmarks in quality of life, innovation, and sustainability.
