Since the establishment of the United Arab Emirates in 1971, Dubai has developed a distinct identity as a modern and dynamic emirate. Dubai now enjoys a global reputation as an economic hub and an excellent location for investment.
As the global environment becomes more competitive and challenges grow, Dubai needs to ensure that it continues to build on its success through proper planning and strategy development.
Executive Council
The Executive Council, directed by the overall vision of Dubai's leadership, has commissioned the development of the Dubai Strategic Plan (DSP) along five sectors:
1. Economic Development
2. Social Development
3. Infrastructure, Land and Environment
4. Security, Justice and Safety
5. Government Excellence
Common framework
The aim of the Dubai Strategic Plan is to establish a universal understanding of Dubai's vision among the various government entities and to ensure a common framework for the operations of these entities.
The plan serves as a framework under which all government-related initiatives converge to consistently meet the vision and aims set by Dubai's Government.
Consultative approach
The development of the Dubai Strategic Plan was largely based on a 'consultative approach' involving a considerable number of stakeholders from the various sectors covered in the plan.
The guiding principle was prioritisation; focusing in every phase of the plan on the areas with the highest priority and development potential.
