Hajri said: “Dubai Municipality prioritises the development of agricultural
beautification projects with a primary goal of enhancing the ever-renewing vitality of
Dubai according to integrated world-class standards, in addition to fostering
sustainability in Dubai by actively implementing innovative irrigation technologies

Major milestone
Dubai Municipality consistently carries out horticultural beautification projects that
adhere to the highest global standards. These efforts integrate innovative design
elements and employ cutting-edge irrigation techniques utilising recycled water. The
goal is to promote the sustainability of environmental resources.
In 2023, the Municipality accomplished an exceptional milestone in tree planting
within the emirate, with the successful planting of over 185,000 trees, fulfilling the
complete objectives of the Green Dubai initiative. This achievement led to the addition
of an extra 234 hectares to the green area in Dubai. It further underscores Dubai
Municipality’s commitment to afforestation, demonstrating a dedication to expanding
vegetation and improving the per capita allocation of green spaces.
