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.
