Partial up-zoning of two Dubai areas approved

Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai and U.A.E. Minister of Finance and Chairman of Dubai Municipality, has approved a partial amendment regarding the up-zoning of Al Bida’a and Abu Hail areas in Dubai.

The provision will re-zone some land from residential use to multi-storey residential and detached villas. This will enable land owners to re-construct on their property as per the new use and specifications, as well as enable them to utilise their land in an economically viable manner.

The decision is part of the government’s plan to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the emirate and upgrade the development of some areas to match the rapid growth and urbanisation in Dubai.

Hussain Nasser Lootah, Director-General of Dubai Municipality, said that DM is always keen, through its annual plans, to study the refurbishment of older areas to achieve the strategic objectives for Dubai.
