5 Urban Centres

The Dubai 2040 Urban Masterplan includes focusing on development and investment in five urban centers (three existing and two new centers) that support growth of economic sectors and increased job opportunities for its diverse population, in addition to providing a wide range of lifestyle facilities that cater to the needs of all sections of the population.

The existing urban centres include: Deira and Bur Dubai, historic areas that highlight the city’s historical essence and celebrate Dubai’s history while preserving its culture and heritage.

The global economic and commercial centre encompasses the Dubai International Financial Centre, Sheikh Zayed Road, as well as Downtown and Business Bay. It serves as an international business hub for economic, financial and business activity.

As for the tourism and entertainment centre, it encompasses the Dubai Marina and JBR that serves as a global destination for tourism, leisure, and hotel activity.
