Rail Conference Opens Today
DUBAI — Stressing the urgent need for a modern railway network in many cities of the Middle East, international experts will meet at the two-day MEED’s (Middle East Economic Digest) Middle East Rail Conference at Park Hyatt Hotel in Dubai from today.
With roads choked with traffic and heavy vehicles crawling on the highways, a modern railway network is the need of the hour to ease the growing pains of many modern Middle Eastern cities, experts have said.
The emirate of Dubai, having understood this, is starting the Dubai Metro project from September next year.
The conference will have a detailed look at the increasing number of ambitious projects already under way in the region, including the development of a light railway network in Dubai which Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia are likely to follow and more than 7, 500 kilometres of railway line planned or under way in Saudi Arabia.
Edmund O’Sullivan, Chairman, MEED Events, said, “There is a very real sense of urgency and a huge weight of expectation is being placed upon the rail sector, as the Middle East looks to ensure that there is the infrastructure in place to support the region’s exponential economic growth and diversification.”
