Dubai unveiled an ambitious master plan on Tuesday that aims to preserve its rich heritage and transform transportation, real estate, and education over the next ten years.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, the Crown Prince of Dubai, the Deputy Prime Minister, and the Minister of Defense, unveiled the main plan. The Executive Council of Dubai, chaired by Sheikh Hamdan, approved a set of measures intended to support the long-term growth of the emirate.
The actions are a part of the larger Dubai Plan 2033 and Dubai Social Agenda 33, which together seek to make the emirate a popular place to live, study, and invest worldwide.
Investing in education
Giving teachers and students the tools they need to improve academic standards and develop the nation’s future generation of leaders is the aim of the Education Strategy 2033, according to Sheikh Hamdan.
“Today, we approved the Education Strategy 2033 under the Dubai Social Agenda 33, targeting a significant shift in our education system,” Sheikh Hamdan said, in remarks shared by Dubai Media Office.
“Under the guidance of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, [Vice President and Ruler of Dubai], Dubai has developed a unique, pioneering global model, and we are now building a more advanced education system in line with this model.
“This strategy is an investment in Dubai’s future, empowering the next generation with essential skills. We have directed the Knowledge and Human Development Authority to place students at the heart of the new system to equip them with skills to lead and shape the future.”
Everything from early childhood to higher education will be covered in future planning. Priority one will be given to early career counseling, and every effort will be taken to position UAE students to successfully compete for admission to the best universities in the nation and the world.
Students will have a range of options under the plan, including international accredited vocational schools. During its creation, educators, parents, and administrators from colleges and universities were consulted.
Real estate rise
The objective of the Real Estate Strategy 2033 is to assist Dubai in reaching its target of Dh1 trillion ($227.2 billion) in real estate transactions by 2033, and to double the real estate sector’s contribution to economic diversification.
“The strategy also boosts Emirati competitiveness and promotes home ownership to enhance family stability,” Sheikh Hamdan said.
The objective is to increase real estate transactions by 70% and double the value of Dubai’s real estate portfolios by 20 times, to Dh20 billion.
The Real Estate Strategy 2033 aims to boost Dubai’s GDP by Dh73 billion, attract more foreign capital, and fortify the city’s position as a significant global financial hub.
A number of projects aimed at raising industry standards, enhancing transparency, utilizing data to enhance market forecasting, integrating artificial intelligence, centralizing data, and offering high-quality assets will be put into action by 2033.
“The aim is to attract investment as well as improve the buying and selling experience. In addition, the strategy prioritizes sustainability and the development of balanced, cohesive communities, aiming to raise homeownership rates to 33 percent,” Dubai Media Office said.
Going cashless
In addition, the Dubai Cashless Strategy was revealed, aiming to place the Emirate among the top five cashless cities globally by 2033.
“The strategy will increase digital transactions across all sectors, contributing AED8 billion to the economy and ensuring that 100% of businesses in Dubai accept digital payments,” Dubai Media Office said.
Suspended transport systems
Suspended Transport Systems Project will be the focal point of Dubai’s Smart Mobility Strategy. By 2030, Dubai intends to automate 25% of all trips by connecting Umm Suqeim Street, Al Khor, and Zabeel with a recently approved 65-kilometer system.
Due to the new initiative, public transportation will be used for 26% of all trips in Dubai by 2030. The Dubai Media Office added that in order to promote people’s effective and sustainable mobility throughout the emirate, it will be integrated with other modes of transportation.
Dubai National Archives
The Mohammed bin Rashid Library will be in charge of the Dubai National Archives Project, which aims to preserve Dubai’s history and legacy. Preserving Dubai’s history and cultural heritage for future generations, it will entail recording and conserving the emirate’s official documents, accomplishments, and historical narrative.
