Smart City
potentials in the UAE in
a discussion session
On the closing day of its 3rd round, the
Government Summit set its first session
to discuss the UAE’s vision towards Smart
City transformation and the efforts exerted
in this area.
The discussion session entitled, “Smart
City Potentials in the UAE” comprised
three spokesmen namely Falah Mo-
hamed Al Ahbabi, Director General of Abu
Dhabi Urban Planning Council, Saeed Al
Tayer, Dubai Electricity & Water Author-
ity’s Managing Director and Eng. Hussain
Nasser Lootah, Director General of Dubai
Municipality.
The session was kicked off by a quick re-
view of the urban development and grow-
ing populations of cities throughout the
world in general and cities in the region in
particular. The session shed light on the
importance of the smart transformation
of the capital, Abu Dhabi, the emirate of
Dubai and all Emirati cities. It was pointed
out that city residents will constitute 70%
of world population by 2030, and cities will
comprise nearly 80% of global economy.
Al Ahbabi highlighted the UAE’s vision
and its importance in achieving sustain-
able development in the environment,
economic development and transporta-
tion sectors, as well as in maintaining and
preserving the national identity and heri-
tage. He pointed out that Abu Dhabi had
begun implementing Abu Dhabi’s urban
planning multi-tiered program with the aim
to set a practical and structural framework
to develop the city, thoroughly identify,
analyze and meet the development pres-
ent and future needs,
enhance
planning
and promote effective
principles capable of
keeping par with the
capital’s urban devel-
opment.
