The Dubai Plan is the latest strategic vision for the Emirate, evolving from earlier plans like the Dubai Strategic Plan 2015 and Dubai Plan 2021. As the horizon of Dubai Plan 2021 came to a close, the government embarked on developing The Dubai Plan, using an inclusive and participatory approach. This strategy aims to align with the Emirate’s priorities for the coming years, leading up to 2033.
A Vision for a Global City

The Dubai Plan is designed to elevate Dubai’s status on the global stage, focusing on various interconnected agendas that support each other. These agendas include:
- Dubai Economic Agenda D33
The D33 Agenda emphasizes boosting economic productivity and growth.
This agenda aims to increase economic productivity and stimulate growth by supporting high-potential sectors, attracting talent, and fostering an environment conducive to innovation.
- Dubai Social Agenda 33
The Social Agenda focuses on enhancing social stability and cohesion.
The Social Agenda strives to promote social and economic stability for Emiratis, enhance social cohesion among Dubai’s diverse communities, and improve the quality of life for all residents.
Implementation and Review
The Dubai Plan’s goals are achieved through a dynamic process, involving the development of annual agendas for government programs and collaborative projects with the private and non-profit sectors. This approach is directly linked to fiscal planning and the annual budget cycle.
A strategic review is conducted annually to assess the performance of government entities, gather feedback from the community and businesses, and consider global and regional trends. This ensures the Plan remains responsive to changing circumstances and continues to support Dubai’s ambitions.
Dubai’s Ambitions
Dubai’s ambition is to be among the top 3 global cities.
The ultimate aim of The Dubai Plan is to position Dubai among the top three cities globally. It envisions Dubai as a hub for global talent, a launchpad for innovation, a model of quality of life, a benchmark in ease of doing business, and the fastest in development and growth.
