The UAE aims to have residential communities that bring citizens to live together, said His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on Wednesday.
While launching the 'National Policy For Residential Communities', he said the UAE puts the provision of quality life and housing for Emiratis at the top of its priorities.
Lt-Gen Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, and Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs, were also present.
Sheikh Mohammed said the government is continuing its efforts to ensure the development and sustainability of this vital sector.
The policy includes a set of regulations and criteria for residential communities in the country, in order to develop and enhance life experiences, and provide a new model of living in alignment with UAE Vision 2021 and its national agendas that will ultimately lead to the UAE Centennial 2071.
"Our goal is to provide an integrated life experience for every citizen, not just a place to live in. We want to have residential communities that bring people to live together... Communities where residents enjoy healthy lifestyles and social cohesion. We want communities where government agencies and sectors coordinate and integrate their roles to enhance the quality of life in the UAE," he said.
The policy, developed by the National Programme for Happiness and Well-being in cooperation with the Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme, is based on six tenets, including perfect location, integrated facilities, interconnected communities and places designated for interactive social life, venues for cultural life and intelligent systems.
The policy defines new principles and standards for the development of residential communities and enhance the quality of life for residents.
Sheikh Mohammed stressed: "We start today laying the foundations for a new stage in the development of vibrant housing communities... Residential communities that facilitate the life of all citizens and make their lives easier where Emiratis are involved in the designing of these communities and contribute to improving and developing them."
Sheikh Mohammed instructed competent authorities to start implementing the policy when designing and constructing all residential projects across the country.
