Dubai is not just a metropolis, it is a living organism that is constantly developing. In 2021, the government presented an ambitious Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, aimed at creating the most comfortable and sustainable city in the world. These changes are already making buying a property in Dubai a profitable and strategically correct decision.

Population growth and development prospects

By 2040, Dubai's population will reach 5.8 million. To provide a comfortable life for future residents, the city is actively developing 5 key urban centers:

  • The historic districts of Deira and Bur Dubai — with an emphasis on cultural heritage and tourist attractiveness.

  • Business center — Downtown and Business Bay will become the core of the international economy.
