Municipality is regarded as one of the largest
establishments in Dubai in terms of the number
of people it employs, the volume of services
it provides to the public and the projects
it carries out. Dubai Municipality is the
major driving force behind the development
process of the Dubai City as a whole.
The Municipality
was established in 1940s with a total staff
strength of three persons who were operating
from a single room. However, it was in 1965
that Dubai Municipality came into being officially.
The Municipality kept up its steady growth
since its inception and has now become a large
organisation with more than 10,000 staff working
in over 20 departments. In short, the municipality's
growth reflects the growth of the Dubai City
in general.
Dubai Municipality's
Vision
To
sustain the momentum of development taking
place in Dubai, the Municipality has laid
down a future vision for the city taking into
account the nature of development in the modern
era of globalization. Personifying this vision,
the Municipality has also laid down a number
of objectives and the necessary mechanism
to put them into practice by creating an effective
administrative set-up and introducing appropriate
administrative procedures that enjoy a great
deal of transparency. This helps its different
departments and sections to clearly identify
the end-results they are required to achieve,
with the cooperation of each member of the
public with whom the municipality deals with.
Dubai's future
vision is characterized by the constant improvement
of the living standard in Dubai and its living
conditions , which is accomplished by striking
a dynamic balance between the city's population,
its resources and development objectives on
the one hand and its environment systems on
the other. To achieve its vision and objectives,
Dubai Municipality has adopted sound development
policies and strategies that take into account
the most modern developments in the fields
of engineering, city beautification, information
technology, environment, health, administration,
transport and basic infrastructure. This has
deservedly made the municipality to contribute
effectively to make the city one of the most
outstanding centres of industry, trade, business
and tourism in the Middle East and the world
as a whole. This is apart from providing several
distinctive services to various segments of
the society.
