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.”
