         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 homeownership 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, and 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
         increasing 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.
