Community Development Fund Policy
The newly approved Community Development Fund Policy aligns with the Dubai Social Agenda 33
and supports various social development initiatives. The policy aims to enhance community
services, help fund social programmes and foster an inclusive society. It is managed by the
Community Development Authority and focuses on empowering UAE nationals, improving social
services, and driving innovation in the field of social support.

Strata Registration
The Executive Council also approved a new property classification initiative called Strata
Registration that is designed to enhance home ownership opportunities for UAE citizens by
enabling property owners to subdivide real estate units and issue independent title deeds for each
unit within the building. The initiative will facilitate more diverse housing options, support family
stability and community cohesion, in addition to stimulating economic growth within the real estate
sector. Implemented in two phases by the Dubai Land Department, the initiative’s first phase
focuses on multi-storey buildings within investment and social-purpose zones, targeting areas such
as Al Nahda, Al Muraqqabat, Al Karama, Al Warqa, Nad Al Hamar, and Al Barsha. The second phase
will extend to villa communities, providing Emirati families with more ownership choices. By
facilitating more flexible ownership structures, the initiative aims to encourage greater participation
in Dubai’s real estate sector while ensuring a dynamic and inclusive market.

Super Block
To reinforce Dubai’s status as a pedestrian-friendly global city, The Executive Council approved the
Super Block initiative. The project focuses on transforming designated urban areas into pro-
pedestrian zones to enhance quality of life, foster social interaction, and promote sustainable
mobility. Aligned with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, the initiative aims to reduce carbon
emissions by designating car-free residential areas, enhancing quality of life by increase green
spaces, and fostering social interactions through shared recreational public spaces. Areas such as
Al Fahidi, Abu Hail, Al Karama, and Al Quoz Creative Zone will be the first to benefit from the
initiative.

Unified Digital Platform Initiative
The meeting also saw approval being accorded for the Unified Digital Platform Initiative to integrate
government digital services in Dubai under a single platform, streamlining the user experience for
residents, businesses, and visitors. The initiative aligns with the Services 360 Policy and aims to
position Dubai among the top three global cities for digital services by 2027. It consolidates
platforms such as ‘Dubai Now,’ ‘Invest in Dubai,’ and ‘Visit Dubai,’ and features special portals for
mobility, construction, legal affairs, and commerce. By 2027, the initiative targets full digital service
coverage, a 95% customer satisfaction rate, a 95% digital adoption rate, and a 60% improvement in
service efficiency.
