Dubai: The 20-Minute City
There's a saying that goes, "A developed area is not a place where the poor have cars; it's where the rich use public transportation".
Dubai's leaders make this possible by announcing the city's 2050 Urban Master Plan. First, to make Dubai a "20-minute city" — allowing residents access to 80% of their daily needs and destinations within 20 minutes on foot or by bicycle.
Sheikh Mohammed says, "Our goal is for Dubai to be an eco- and pedestrian-friendly city and a city with a high yield from urban agriculture."
New announcements also cover the real estate market in the city, where the government ensures that supply meets demand and makes developments as sustainable as possible.
Of course, building the future will only be possible by crediting and preserving the past and the city's culture. That's why the UAE leaders aim to "enhance the emirate's identity, promote historical areas, landmarks and buildings, and improve the tourism experience at archaeological sites".
We are all excited for what's to come and grateful to witness and be part of Dubai's journey to becoming the best city to live in the world.
