Dubai launches one of the most ambitious projects in the world — the creation of 6,000 km of pedestrian infrastructureas part of the Dubai Walk Master Plan. This project will directly affect the real estate market and the quality of life in the city.

What is Dubai Walk

Dubai Walk is a program aimed at:

• pedestrian infrastructure development
• improving district connectivity
• integration with public transport
• creating a comfortable urban environment

The project covers 160 districts and will be implemented until 2040.

The first stage — Al Ras

The project started in the historic district Al Ras, where will appear:

• 12 km of walking trails
• 5 km of bike paths
• well-maintained public spaces

The project combines modern infrastructure with the preservation of cultural heritage.

The impact on the real estate market

The development of walkable infrastructure has a direct impact on the value of real estate.

The main effects are:

• rising prices in areas with a developed pedestrian environment;
• increasing demand for facilities close to infrastructure;
• increasing the attractiveness for rent;
• increased interest from investors.

The concept of a “city of 20 minutes”

Dubai Walk is a key part of a strategy that allows residents to access basic services within 20 minutes.

This increases:

• the comfort of life
• real estate liquidity
• investment attractiveness of districts

Which districts will benefit

The highest growth is expected in:

• historic and central districts
• areas near the subway
• mixed-use projects
• new master-community projects

Long term effect

By 2040, the project should:

• increase the share of walking to 25%
• improve the quality of the urban environment
• increase economic activity
• increase tourist flow

The result

Dubai Walk is not just an infrastructure project but a strategic change in the urban model. This is a signal for investors: real estate in areas with a developed pedestrian environment will increase in price and demand.
