Tweets in the “Smart Government” space
Dubai,
a city of smartness, beauty
and impressiveness
In fascination, we observe Dubai, the city which combines
beauty with internationality and smartness. The world
gasps at its ideas, applications and pursuit of perfection,
which result from its leadership’s firm conviction that it is
either “to be the best or not to be”.
This leading promising city seeks the
latest innovations with its eyes on the
future, its heart on humanity and its
sentiment on its citizens.
Launching the Dubai Smart City
project, which His Highness Sheikh
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum,
Vice President and Prime Minister of
the UAE and Ruler of Dubai had an-
nounced through Twitter, sparked the
micro-blogging site with a plethora
of comments that the project is not
strange for the pearl of the world.
Dr. Hammad al-Hammadi tweeted:
“Dubai is not a smart city only today.
It has been a smart city since God
blessed it with a smart leadership
that believes in creativity and think-
ing out of the box.”
Hamda al-Muhairi wrote: “Thank God
we have lived to witness such a de-
velopment, which we wouldn’t have
achieved without the determination
of our leaders.”
Dr. Mohamed Saif expressed his
pride in the national accomplish-
ments that have made the UAE in
general and Dubai, in particular, the
centre of the world’s attention: “The
smartness lies in that the UAE is
racing against time to catch up with
modern developments, and then
passes them to tell the whole world
that there is no impossible here.”
Ali al-Ali wrote: “There is nothing new.
Dubai fascinates the world thanks to
its leaders who have put the happi-
ness of those living on the good land
of UAE before their eyes. It is the
charming city that never sleeps; the
city that impresses the world by mira-
cles. It is Dubai the pearl of the world.
Mohamed al-Ali defined a smart city
as “a project that employs smart sys-
tems in the daily details of the citizens
and residents’ lives. It saves their en-
ergy, time and money; a trilogy that
has always been the main mobilizer
for achieving leaps and great accom-
plishments to increase the quality of
life and lifestyle.”
Sami Ahmed sees that the project
will achieve environmental and eco-
nomic sustainability and cause a
huge leap that brings durability and
strength to the UAE economy.
Tweep Aashiq al- Nahyan believes
that the initiative ensures that Dubai
continues on its way towards growth
and prosperity across all sectors. It
also stresses the continuation of His
Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin
Rashid Al Maktoum’s constant inno-
vation and development.
Fatima Elias tweeted: “History will
write his name in neon. He is a lead-
er who defeated the impossible by
his ideas and vision. He has made
Dubai the focus on attention of the
whole world.”
Omar expressed his happiness say-
ing: “After the smart government,
here is Dubai turning into a smart city.
It will not be long until the entire UAE
transforms into a smart country.”
