wind-resistant spraying techniques have been integrated, resulting in a water-saving of

around 30 per cent.

The implementation of sustainable groundwater and rainwater drainage systems by the
Municipality has proven effective, particularly during the recent rainfall. Furthermore, a

pumping station with a capacity exceeding 280 cubic meters per hour has also been

established, along with a tank with a capacity of 1,000 cubic meters. As part of beautification

efforts at the intersection, the Municipality has also installed multi-color linear lighting

systems.

H.E. Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality, emphasized the significance of
agricultural beautification initiatives and highlighted the efforts to expand green spaces across

Dubai. These efforts reflect the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al

Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to position Dubai

as the best city to live in the world.

Al Hajri stated that increasing green spaces in Dubai is integral to the Municipality’s strategies

aimed at promoting environmental sustainability in the emirate. The goal is to establish a
comprehensive environmental impact that preserves natural elements and resources while

improving their overall quality. These efforts are expected to enhance Dubai’s attractiveness

and aesthetic appeal while ensuring the highest standards of living and luxury for its

residents.

Sustainable irrigation
H.E. Al Hajri said: “Dubai Municipality prioritizes 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 that rely on fully recycled water.”

Inspired idea
The design of the intersection at Al Meydan and Al Khail roads has been inspired by the

patterns of horse hoof prints. The outcome is a unique artwork that combines elements of wild

nature with thoughtfully chosen ornamental plants. To elevate the aesthetic appeal of the city,

the Municipality has enriched the landscape by planting diverse evergreen tree species.
