we envision and build urban spaces. However, we should always put people first
               and ensure that we leave no one and no place behind.”

               The agreement will be followed by the development of a comprehensive proposal
               for the project ‘Artificial Intelligence in Dubai: Pioneering Urban Intelligence for a
               Comprehensive and Sustainable Future’. This project aims to improve
               collaboration across several areas of work, including the creation of an AI
               governance strategy for Dubai’s urban planning and the implementation of AI-
               driven simulation tools to improve priority areas and optimise urban planning
               operations and services.


               The agreement further aims to enhance the knowledge and expertise of Dubai
               Municipality workforce as well as their capabilities in implementing artificial
               intelligence techniques within urban planning.


               The partnership between Dubai Municipality and UN-Habitat has yielded
               remarkable results, most notably their constant efforts in organising the 13th
               edition of the Dubai International Best Practices Award for Sustainable
               Development. Conducted as part of the World Governments Summit, this award
               honours exceptional global concepts, initiatives, and cutting-edge methods
               towards improving environmental sustainability and quality of life globally,
               thereby positively influencing the growth of future cities.

               This collaboration is further strengthened by the international recognition of this
               award and its sustained momentum. The award has currently emerged as a key
               advocate for implementing best practices in global sustainable urban planning
               and is documented in the UN-Habitat’s database for best practices as part of the
               new urban agenda program.

               More than 4,000 participants from the public and private sectors will participate in
               110 interactive sessions at WGS 2024, including 200 speakers from 80
               international, regional and intergovernmental organisations including the UN, the
               World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the World Health Organisation, the
               International Atomic Energy Agency and the Arab League. It will also welcome
               eight Nobel prize winners, and provide a platform for 23 ministerial meetings in
               the presence of more than 300 ministers. In partnership with a select group of
               knowledge partners, the Summit will launch more than 25 strategic reports,
               focusing on the most important practices and trends in vital sectors.
