Dubai Municipality has completed more than 107 projects worth a total of 1.6 billion dirhams in 2026, as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance public spaces and community facilities throughout the city. These initiatives, delivered through the Municipality’s Public Facilities Agency, reflect a comprehensive approach to expanding and improving Dubai’s urban environment for residents and visitors alike.
The projects span a range of public infrastructure developments, including upgrades to parks, beaches, neighbourhood beautification, landscaping, and community facilities. In addition to enhancing its own public destinations, the Agency has supported the construction of essential educational, social, and community infrastructure for other government entities, underscoring its broader role in Dubai’s urban growth and service delivery.
A notable focus within the 2026 portfolio is the creation and enhancement of community destinations tailored to Dubai’s evolving urban and demographic demands. Highlighted locations include Al Mamzar Beaches, schools, social neighbourhood Majlis, and Hewi Dubai in Nad Al Sheba. The Agency has also advanced new neighbourhood parks and development projects targeting rural and countryside areas, complemented by citywide landscaping and agricultural development initiatives.
Investment breakdown reveals that 36 percent of the total budget was allocated to public beach developments, while 22 percent was dedicated to city beautification, landscaping, and agriculture projects. These efforts aim to create greener, more attractive, and user-friendly public spaces that improve quality of life and foster community engagement.
Dubai Municipality emphasises an integrated development model that coordinates planning, design, construction, and ongoing operations of public facilities. This lifecycle approach is intended to ensure sustainable value and functionality long after projects are completed. The Agency actively incorporates community feedback, visitor insights, and operational data to guide facility improvements, aligning development with actual user needs.
Bader Anwahi, CEO of the Public Facilities Agency, stated that public infrastructure should be evaluated not only by its physical construction but also by its impact on daily life and long-term city development. He noted that the Agency’s approach involves understanding community requirements, careful planning, and ensuring that public spaces remain efficient and sustainable over time.
Overall, the completed projects illustrate the expanding role of Dubai’s Public Facilities Agency in shaping a more accessible, attractive, and dynamic urban environment through targeted investments in infrastructure and public amenities.
