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.

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.

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 percent customer satisfaction rate, a 95 percent digital
adoption rate, and a 60 percent improvement in service efficiency.
