30 projects, Dh1.8bn: Ajman’s big growth plan explained
New roads, cycling tracks, parks and community spaces to improve quality of life
Ajman: Ajman has launched an ambitious Dh1.8 billion development programme that will see 30 major urban projects rolled out over the next five years to improve roads, expand green spaces, enhance public facilities and make travel easier across the emirate.
Launched by Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman and Chairman of the Executive Council, the AM30x30 agenda is designed to help achieve the goals of Ajman Vision 2030 while creating a more liveable, sustainable and family-friendly city.
The projects are grouped into five packages covering roads, infrastructure, sustainable mobility and public amenities.
“The journey of development in Ajman does not pause at any single project or achievement,” Sheikh Ammar said, adding that the emirate will continue investing in projects that improve quality of life and strengthen its appeal as a place to live, work and invest.
Supporting Ajman Vision 2030
Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Chairman of the Ajman Municipality and Planning Departmen, said the agenda translates the emirate’s long-term vision into practical projects that will enhance competitiveness and improve residents’ quality of life.
Meanwhile, Abdulrahman Mohammed Al Nuaimi said the projects were selected following specialised studies and are designed to balance urban growth with environmental sustainability, creating a city that meets the needs of future generations.
Building a better road network
A large part of the programme focuses on improving Ajman’s road network to accommodate population growth and reduce congestion.
The municipality plans to increase the construction of new roads by 43 per cent between 2026 and 2030 compared with the previous five-year period. It also aims to expand the cycling network by 33 per cent.
