DUBAI 2040
URBAN MASTER PLAN
The 'Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan' is a vision by the UAE Government to transform Dubai into a sustainable, people-centric city by 2040.
POPULATION GROWTH
The Plan provides a detailed residents, employment and visitor population forecast to estimate the amount of land and floorspace required over the next twenty years.
Dubai’s overall population growth is expected to remain highly responsive to Dubai’s economic and social initiatives. The emirate’s residential population is forecasted to increase by almost 75 percent over the next two decades to reach 5.8 million. Resident and commuting workers are also expected to increase by 75 percent to reach 4.9 million.
Most of the employment will be driven by growth in the high-tech and knowledge-focused sectors, increasing the land requirement to serve these emerging economic sectors.
Daily visitors to the emirate is expected to grow by 53 percent driven by Dubai’s continued position as a global aviation and tourism hub, creating a significant demand for additional hospitality services.
