MOST PROMINENT UAE PROJECT

The Dubai Design District (d3) has made Dubai into one of the top 21st-Century international design scenes. Starting with a vision as a creative hub for the design industry in 2013, it has blossomed into an organically evolving space for top thinkers and makers and is now an important part of the economy, worth around $2.3 billion in 2014. For thousands of artists, fashion designers and creative minds it has become a community that provides space, collaboration and opportunities – and that also attracts exceptional talent from across the globe. It is, at its heart, a place where dreams are encouraged and realised with support and passion. This may not be the country’s most prestigious project, but rather it was selected due to its importance and significance to the creative industries
