Dubai Municipality

Dubai Municipality is regarded as one of the largest establishments in Dubai in terms of the number of people it employs, the volume of services it provides to the public and the projects it carries out. Dubai Municipality is the major driving force behind the development process of the Dubai City as a whole.

The Municipality was established in 1940s with a total staff strength of three persons who were operating from a single room. However, it was in 1965 that Dubai Municipality came into being officially. The Municipality kept up its steady growth since its inception and has now become a large organisation with more than 10,000 staff working in over 20 departments. In short, the municipality's growth reflects the growth of the Dubai City in general.

Dubai Municipality's Vision

To sustain the momentum of development taking place in Dubai, the Municipality has laid down a future vision for the city taking into account the nature of development in the modern era of globalization. Personifying this vision, the Municipality has also laid down a number of objectives and the necessary mechanism to put them into practice by creating an effective administrative set-up and introducing appropriate administrative procedures that enjoy a great deal of transparency. This helps its different departments and sections to clearly identify the end-results they are required to achieve, with the cooperation of each member of the public with whom the municipality deals with.

Dubai's future vision is characterized by the constant improvement of the living standard in Dubai and its living conditions , which is accomplished by striking a dynamic balance between the city's population, its resources and development objectives on the one hand and its environment systems on the other. To achieve its vision and objectives, Dubai Municipality has adopted sound development policies and strategies that take into account the most modern developments in the fields of engineering, city beautification, information technology, environment, health, administration, transport and basic infrastructure. This has deservedly made the municipality to contribute effectively to make the city one of the most outstanding centres of industry, trade, business and tourism in the Middle East and the world as a whole. This is apart from providing several distinctive services to various segments of the society.
