Plans to transform the nation’s historic neighborhoods and structures constructed between the 1960s and 1990s into a “open museum of human heritage” have been approved by the Executive Council of Dubai.
According to Khaleej Times, the repair is a component of the project’s second phase, which is devoted to conserving the emirate’s historic architecture.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Chairman of the Executive Council and Crown Prince of Dubai, announced the project and stated, “By protecting our heritage architecture, we seek to promote a deeper understanding among citizens, residents, and visitors of what has shaped the emirate into the thriving metropolis it is today.”
“We have a responsibility to celebrate our history and protect our architectural treasures for future generations,” he stated.
Thirty-five landmarks, including the Jumeirah Zoo, the Dubai Courts Building, and the Deira Clock Tower, will be the focus of the second phase of restoration and preservation.
Seventy-one structures, fourteen historical districts, and seventeen archeological sites from Dubai’s past were included in the first phase.
Furthermore, Sheikh Hamdan has given his approval to the Dubai Quality of Life Strategy 2033, which intends to enhance the standard of living for its inhabitants.
Thirty new parks, walking trails, beach cycling routes, and beaches for night swimming will all be constructed in accordance with the plan.
Additionally, nearly 3,000 plants and trees will be planted.
