Middle East | July 4, 2024 2:11:21 PM IST

Dubai [UAE], July 4 (ANI/WAM): 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 civilisation, staying updated with the Emirate's future development, and
highlighting its achievements of high value.

Dawoud Al Hajri, Director-General of Dubai Municipality and 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 the interrelationship between the 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."

Furthermore, the committee has devised a method for proposing names based on specific
classifications that will inspire the names for each area. These classifications include
names linked to Arabic and Islamic design and architecture, along with names associated
to art, culture and Arabic poetic prosody.
