"We have today approved the Dubai Quality of Life Strategy 2033 as part of our efforts to raise our global standing in the economy as well as in the areas of innovation and well-being. The vibrancy and cultural diversity of our society are key to our development journey,” said Sheikh Hamdan.
This plan is focused on seven key demographic categories which include women, seniors, nationals, people of determination, children, youth, and white-collar workers. Here are some of the project's key highlights: The 20-Minute CityAiming to give residents access to essential needs - groceries, healthcare, schools - within a 20-minute walk, bike ride, or other sustainable commute. This innovative concept forms the core of the strategy, making Dubai a more convenient and pedestrian-friendly city.

Key targets of the Quality of Life Strategy include 200 new parks, a 300 % increase in public services provision by 2025, 100% accessibility for people of determination and senior citizens, and a 300% expansion of cycling tracks on beaches. Multi-Faceted ApproachImproved connections and upgraded infrastructures are also one of the many targets of this strategy. One of which is boosting connectivity between parks, mosques, shops, and other community hubs. In addition, upgrading multiple beaches by creating dedicated women's beaches in the areas of Jebel Ali, Jebel Ali Caravans Camp, Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim, and Al Mamzar is also included in the plan. Aligned with Dubai's 2040 vision of significantly enhancing public beach access for a more inclusive beachfront experience.
