Hamdan launches Govt of Dubai’s new logo
DUBAI: Under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, presided over the first meeting of The Executive Council of Dubai, following its recent reconstitution.
During the meeting, Sheikh Hamdan approved the launch of the Government of Dubai’s new logo and the allocation of Dhs40 billion for the ‘Dubai Porfolio for Public-private Partnership’ for 2024-2026. He also approved Dubai’s ‘Affordable Housing Policy’ and the ‘Dubai Sandbox’ project, designed to support 100 tech ventures in its initial phase.
Sheikh Hamdan praised the efforts of the former Council members in bolstering Dubai’s position on the global stage and extended a warm welcome to the new members. He said that the reconstituted Executive Council of Dubai marks the start of a new strategic phase to enhance the government’s operational framework and consolidate Dubai’s stature.
“The newly formed Executive Council of Dubai will act as the driving force and catalyst for constructive change for Dubai. It will play a pivotal role in ensuring sustainable development, enhancing people’s wellbeing, and strengthening Dubai’s global standing,” he said.
The General Secretariat of the Executive Council of Dubai said that government entities will be granted a six-month transition period to implement the new logo.
The ‘Affordable Housing Policy’ is aligned with the goals of Dubai’s 2040 Urban Master Plan, which aims to foster vibrant and healthy communities by providing diverse job opportunities and addressing housing needs.
This policy will cater to various segments of society, offering a range of housing options suitable for individuals across different income levels. Additionally, it will facilitate the development of new accommodations for workers closer to their workplaces, enhancing the quality of these facilities and ensuring the provision of adequate services for all segments of society.
Aligned with Dubai’s commitment to enhancing its global standing as a leading destination for living and working, the policy seeks to strengthen social cohesion and improve urban development. Multiple entities, including Dubai Municipality, the Roads and Transport Authority, Dubai Land Department, and Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, are involved in implementing the policy.
