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.
