Approved dubai masterplan to earmark land requirements

A new 2020 masterplan has been approved in Dubai that will clearly mark how land can be used in the emirate.

Director-general of Dubai Municipality Hussain Nasser Lootah said that the new plan will set out “requirements” for land blocks and what can be built on them.

“It is a masterplan for the city of Dubai. We have to know what we are going to do and what is our requirement for these lands and how we need to develop it,” he said.

“This masterplan has taken all the aspects - residential, industrial, commercial, schools, hospital and even infrastructure - into consideration. We have taken it to the Executive Council and they approved it. We are leading the project and are cooperation and coordinating with government organisations and private developers.”
