                     rapidly  changing  demands.  Considering  this,  Dubai


                     Municipality  has  adopted  a  proactive  stance  by  using


                     artificial  intelligence  technologies  for  urban  planning,


                     such  as  (Urbanist  AI).  These  tools  assist  planners  in


                     generating  solutions  tailored  to  urban  environments,


                     thereby           facilitating         accurate           changes            and



                     advancements,  along  with  significant  savings  in  time


                     and costs.”


                     Further  discussing  the  different  opportunities  for


                     development  in  cities,  Al  Hajri  explained,  “Waste


                     management still remains a challenge for cities all over


                     the world even today. Dubai Municipality, on the other


                     hand,  views  it  as  a  significant  economic  opportunity.


                     Using  the  biggest  waste  treatment  and  energy


                     conversion  facility  on  the  planet,  we  have  leveraged


                     waste to help light 135,000 residential buildings across



                     the  Emirate  of  Dubai.  This  facility  uses  cutting-edge


                     technologies, such as artificial intelligence systems that


                     further boost operational efficiency."


                     Sewage plants treat more than 360 million cubic metres


                     of wastewater each year. Al Hajri emphasised the efforts
