Dubai has taken a significant step towards becoming a 20-minute city, where residents can access almost all essential services within a radius of 20 minutes. The Dubai government has announced its plan to make the city a 20-minute city, with the approval of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Defense. According to the plan, residents will be able to access 80% of their daily essential services within 20 minutes, either on foot, by bike, or using environmentally friendly transportation.
The initiative aims to bring Dubai at least 10 years ahead of other modern cities. The pilot phase of the project has already begun in the Al Barsha area, where roads will be made safer, shaded trees will be planted, and environmentally friendly spaces will be created. To reduce traffic congestion, transportation corridors will be introduced, and a system for rapid diagnosis of diseases will be implemented.
The Dubai government has introduced a new plan to make travel easier for residents, allowing them to complete their check-in process from various locations across the city before heading to the airport. This move is expected to reduce congestion at the airport and make travel more convenient for residents.
