DUBAI 2040
Dubai municipality is the sole competent authority in developing the spatial structural plan for the Emirate of Dubai.
The latest of these structural plans is Dubai 2040 (“The Plan”), which was launched in 2021. The Plan is a long-term strategic plan to guide urban development and support His Highness’ vision of making Dubai “the best city to live in”.
Dubai 2040 will direct development in a coordinated manner through its structure plan approach, including strategies, principles, policy directions, and initiatives to serve as the guide to other lower-order plans.

Dubai Metropolitan Area
The Plan has identified the following key spatial opportunities:
Leverage Dubai’s diverse population and economy to create a unique, people-focused sense of place.
Expand natural conservation areas, create urban-rural natural connectors, and increase urban green space to enhance environmental sustainability.
Capitalize on existing development to create a connected hierarchy of centers, bringing residents closer to where they work, shop and recreate.
Promote infill development and maximize public transit investments, to maximize the efficiency of existing and planned infrastructure.
Expand affordable housing options and regenerate aging residential communities.
Reduce sprawl, increase density and landuse mix
Provide opportunities to increase
density and land use mix to reduce automobile dependency and separated residents from key
amenities in these low density
communities.
Increase environmental resilience
Dubai should adapt its built
environment to positively respond
to climate change, accelerate its
net-zero plans through sustainable
resource use, and green space
provision.
Percentage of population
Increase the use of key existing
infrastructure in the urban areas.
Coordinated governance
Provide a seamless, proactive,
and an integrated urban planning
system to promote consistency
and coordination for the public
and private sector.
Balance land use supply
Meet the future area demands with
flexible approaches to regeneration
such as zoning and flexible built
space that addresses the emirate’s
economic ambitions.
