This project supports the goals of the ‘Year of Community,’ declared for 2025, which aims to strengthen family and societal bonds, and is aligned with the objectives of the Dubai Social Agenda 33, which seeks to enhance the well-being of Emirati families, reinforce national identity and values, and ensure a cohesive and inclusive social environment.
Hessa bint Essa Buhumaid, Director-General of the Community Development Authority, affirmed that neighborhood councils serve as living examples of social cohesion in Dubai.
“These spaces bring community members together in environments that support dialog, preserve heritage, and reflect the UAE’s cultural identity,” she said. “As part of our role in supervising neighborhood councils, we are committed to evolving these facilities in line with the needs of residents, ensuring they contribute to national identity and foster meaningful engagement through a variety of activities and events.”
She added that establishing new councils represents a pivotal step in enhancing social services across residential areas. “This expansion supports the leadership’s vision of building a more connected and empowered society. These projects respond to population growth and urban development while ensuring that high-quality services reach every neighborhood, in accordance with the highest standards.”
Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Acting Director-General of Dubai Municipality, described the project as a strategic step aligned with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai.
“These councils are essential to keeping pace with the evolving needs of citizens and providing facilities that ensure a decent, happy, and stable life for all,” he said.
“They offer spaces that strengthen community cohesion, encourage younger generations to uphold Emirati traditions, and create inclusive platforms for dialog, consultation, and engagement.”
