Dubai’s crown prince, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, launched Dubai Quality of Life Strategy 2033, aiming to make Dubai the best to live in.
The crown prince announced the strategy that involves around 200 projects and initiatives that ensure the availability of necessities within 20 minutes of travel anywhere. The project aims at turning Dubai into a pedestrian-, environment- and family-friendly city.
“We have today approved the Dubai Quality of Life Strategy 2033 as part of our efforts to raise our global standing in the economy, as well as in the areas of innovation and wellbeing. The vibrancy and cultural diversity of our society are key to our development journey,” said Sheikh Hamdan.
The project undertakes the building of public amenities like over 200 parks, expanding cycling tracks on beaches by 300 percent, extending the length of night swimming beaches by 60 percent, designating new beaches exclusively for women, and comprehensive plans for developing Dubai’s outlying areas.
On the environment front, the key initiatives include expanding electricity charging stations across Dubai and developing the Mohammed bin Rashid Solar Park, the world’s largest single-site solar energy park.
