         Published  Tuesday, February 27, 2024                                                              By  WAM



       H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of
       Dubai, today attended a talk on the vital role Middle Eastern cities have played throughout history in advancing human progress.

       The event held at the Za’abeel Majlis was also attended by H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil
       Aviation Authority, Chairman of Dubai Airports, and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group.

       The talk was delivered by Dr. Roy Casagranda, Professor of Government at Austin Community College (ACC) in the USA, known for
       being an expert on the Middle East. Also attended by ministers and other dignitaries, the talk was focused on the role that Middle
       Eastern cities have played throughout history in the evolution of civilization, advancement of innovation and the growth of commerce,
       especially as vital nodes in global trading routes. Dr. Casagranda noted that while the influence of cities in the region in shaping the
       world’s evolution has waned over the last three centuries, Dubai has recently emerged as a new hub for growth, generating
       innovation and ideas that are playing a key role in shaping the world’s future.
