For those who can't seem to make up their minds between Marina, Mirdiff and Meadows, here's (artificial) intelligence to the rescue.
A new, smart decision-making platform will help residents identify the best location for them to move to with their families.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council, launched the Smart Decision-Making Platform at Smart Dubai's stand during GITEX Technology Week 2017.
The platform relies on the Dubai Pulse, which hosts all of the emirate's data and forms the backbone of its shift towards smart development. Through the platform, visitors can visualise data through an 'immersive room' that offers them a glimpse into the future of Dubai.
Titled 'Future, Live', the room allows visitors to visualise live, citywide data, making Dubai the first city in the world to share its real-time live data with the public, along with projections of the progress that is in the pipeline for the coming decade.
City Resident, a feature of the platform, maps all residential areas across the city, overlays them with Metro/bus data and cross-references them with school and hospital locations, before finally factoring in property values.
Once the system analyses all the data, users can use gesture control to explore the results.
The interface was created using data mined from hundreds of thousands of data points around the city. It projects layers of information that provide visitors with unprecedented insights into Dubai's smart city transformation.
"Smart Dubai always puts people first in all of our initiatives," said Dr Aisha bint Butti bin Bishr, Director-General of the Smart Dubai Office (SDO). "We have been working tirelessly to bring all of Dubai's smart city services to life, and to use the extensive data that we have amassed to cater our offering to each citizen, resident and visitor in the emirate.
"Our display today at Gitex Technology Week offers visitors a glimpse into the future. The live interactive platform feeds off of Dubai Pulse's treasure trove of city-wide data, offering scenarios with three realistic characters reflecting actual residents of Dubai."
