These spaces bring community members together in environments that support dialogue, preserve heritage, and reflect the UAE’s cultural identity. As part of our role in supervising neighbourhood councils, we are committed to evolving these facilities. In line with the needs of residents, ensuring they contribute to national identity and foster meaningful engagement through a variety of activities and events.” “This expansion supports the leadership’s vision of building a more connected and empowered society. These projects respond to population growth and urban development while ensuring that high-quality services reach every neighbourhood, in accordance with the highest standards. Establishing new councils represents a pivotal step in enhancing social services across residential areas,” added Buhumaid. Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Acting Director-General of Dubai Municipality continued, “These councils are essential to keeping pace with the evolving needs of citizens and providing facilities that ensure a decent, happy, and stable life for all. They offer spaces that strengthen community cohesion, encourage younger generations to uphold Emirati traditions, and create inclusive platforms for dialogue, consultation, and engagement.” The five councils will adopt a unified architectural design that harmonises with contemporary aesthetics while preserving Emirati cultural heritage. The Hatta council will be tailored to accommodate the region’s distinctive heritage and urban standards, ensuring its integration with the natural and historical ambiance of the area.
