H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, approved the “Dubai Quality of Life Strategy 2033”, a visionary strategy dedicated to ensuring the comprehensive well being of all segments of the community.
Encompassing a holistic and integrated approach to well-being, the strategy aims to establish Dubai as a global leader in quality of life and enhance its status as the world’s preferred destination to live, work and visit.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed stressed that caring for people remains the cornerstone of Dubai’s sustainable development strategies. The well-being of individuals is the ultimate objective of our development plans and the primary criterion for the success of government programmes.
“We have today approved the Dubai Quality of Life Strategy 2033 as part of our efforts to raise our global standing in the economy as well as in the areas of innovation and well-being. The vibrancy and cultural diversity of our society are key to our development journey.”
Innovations for Better Living
“The Dubai Quality of Life Strategy encompasses over 200 projects, initiatives, and plans. The strategy encompasses ten key pillars, all dedicated to fostering the well-being of individuals, society, and the city. Our objective is to establish Dubai as one of the world’s best cities in terms of well-being, offer every resident a healthy, active, and enjoyable lifestyle, build a society that takes pride in its identity and cultural diversity, and offer the highest quality of leisure and entertainment. Dubai’s name will become synonymous with fine living worldwide.”
“All projects initiated as part of the strategy will be overseen by a new office dedicated to enhancing quality of life in Dubai, in coordination with over 19 government entities and dozens of private organisations,” he added.
H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum made these remarks after reviewing the highlights of the Dubai Quality of Life Strategy, which is aligned with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. The strategy features an integrated roadmap for sustainable urban development in the city for all segments of the community aimed at realising His Highness’s vision for Dubai’s future and establishing it as one of the world’s best cities in terms of well-being.
Encompassing over 200 projects, initiatives, and supporting plans, the Dubai Quality of Life Strategy is set for implementation in three phases from 2024 to 2033. It covers 10 key pillars pertinent to well-being: culture and entertainment, the natural environment, the urban environment, mobility, society and family, the economic environment, employment and work conditions, education, safety and security, and health. The new strategy targets the individual, society, and the city, placing humans as a top priority.
The LivingQ Approach
“With LivingQ, we’re pioneering a concept we call the ‘living quotient,’ akin to the intelligence quotient (IQ), but focused on measuring and improving the quality of life,” explains Dr. Alzarooni. “Our goal is to create a tangible, actionable metric for living quality that can be assessed and enhanced in real-time. This approach brings quality of life from an intangible concept to a tangible, definable, and scientifically measurable factor of human experience.”
The Living Quality represents a shared commitment with the Dubai Quality of Life Strategy to creating a city that prioritises the well-being, happiness, and prosperity of its residents.
