DUBAI: The Dubai crown prince has created a new government committee to ensure urban planning aligns with the city’s 2040 master plan.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al-Maktoum said the committee would be chaired by Mattar Al-Tayer, who will ensure projects are aligned with the emirate’s goal of becoming one of the most livable cities in the world.
“The committee is tasked with overseeing the urban planning sector and the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan’s aims to enhance quality of life,” the crown price said in a tweet.
The emirate’s rulers earlier announced the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, that includes a major expansion of residential, recreational, and commercial spaces.
The new committee will oversee the implementation of this plan, and will propose policies, strategies, and legislation to ensure that objectives are met.
Its other members include the CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, the director general of Dubai Municipality, and other top officials in related areas.
“The ommittee will work to enhance the government’s multi-level framework, endorsed as part of the deliverables of the Dubai Urban Master Plan 2040, to ensure the implementation of infrastructure and urban development projects that support the economy and enhance Dubai’s status as the best city to live in,” Al-Tayer said.
