“Caring for people remains the cornerstone of Dubai’s sustainable development strategies. The wellbeing of individuals is the ultimate objective of our development plans and the primary criterion for the success of government programmes,” Sheikh Hamdan said.

To enhance the overall experience, over 115 kilometers of pedestrian and cycling tracks will be constructed, and more than 3,000 trees and plants will be planted.
