Abu Dhabi’s Vision for a More Livable Capital

Thu, May 21, 2026(47d ago)UAE

Mohamed Ali Al Shorafa, Chairman of the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), has unveiled an aggressive roadmap to transform Abu Dhabi into a global benchmark for urban livability. Despite facing regional and global economic headwinds, the emirate is accelerating its development agenda, focusing on human-centric urban design. By prioritizing walkable neighborhoods, expanded green spaces, and integrated access to essential services like healthcare and retail, the city aims to foster a stronger sense of community. This strategic shift is already yielding impressive results, with the local real estate sector experiencing a remarkable 140% surge in activity compared to the previous year, signaling robust confidence from both residents and investors.

To sustain this momentum, the government is leveraging advanced technology, including a "digital twin" of the city and centralized AI-driven management systems, to streamline infrastructure and reduce traffic congestion. Looking toward the future, the capital is expanding its reach through massive infrastructure projects, such as the modernization of Mussafah and the creation of new residential and economic hubs that bridge the gap between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. By balancing luxury and affordable housing through meticulous urban planning and public-private partnerships, Abu Dhabi is positioning itself as a modern, resilient, and highly attractive destination for people to live, work, and thrive.
