Dubai Road Naming Committee, the entity that designates names for roads and streets in Dubai,
launched the platform Street Designation Proposal under the supervision of Dubai Municipality.
The platform aims to enable public participation in proposing names for roads and streets across
Dubai. This is in line with the Committee’s objectives of preserving the legacy of the past,
promoting civilization, staying updated with the Emirate’s future development, and highlighting
its achievements of high value.

H.E. Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality, Chairman of the Dubai Road
Naming Committee, stated that the platform is part of the efforts and plans of the Integrated
Committee to promote community participation in submitting proposals for naming roads and
streets across various areas of the Emirate. This is in accordance with approved classifications
that aim to revive heritage names, highlight national identity and social and cultural
characteristics that reflect the emirate’s history, heritage, values, social and cultural wealth, and
consistency with future development and orientation.
Al Hajri said: “The new platform serves as a digital system, allowing the public to suggest names
for streets and roads across Dubai, keeping in mind a comprehensive method and specific criteria
that reflects our identity and interrelationship between past, present and future of Dubai. It aims
to revive valuable historical meanings, heritage, and urban monuments, in line with Dubai’s
leading global position and reputation, further consolidating diverse areas of the Emirate in the
minds of present and future generations.”
