Dubai’s ‘Unified Map Project’ is now complete

Dubai is setting up a unified map of lands in the emirate after Dubai Municipality and Dubai Land Department signed a partnership agreement to unify service channels and create a unified database.

The project was launched in implementation of the directives of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council. This is done with the aim of “strengthening the governance of procedures, unifying service channels, and enhancing the confidence of customers — including owners, consultants, investors, real estate developers — and the creation of a single database at the level of the emirate and the issuance of a comprehensive and unified map.”

The agreement was signed between Dawoud Al Hajri, director general of the Municipality, and Sultan Butti bin Mejren, director general of the Land Department.

Dawoud Al Hajri, director general of Dubai Municipality, said that the project comes out of the Municipality’s keenness to keep pace with developments and to meet the needs of customers.

“Work has been done to design a unified model for the comprehensive map of the emirate of Dubai and the issuance of a comprehensive site-planning and geographical map shared between the various bodies — Dubai Municipality, Land Department, Dubai Development Authority, Dubai Silicon Oasis and Dubai Aviation City (Dubai South) — with the aim of laying the foundations for joint strategic cooperation and benefiting from the services provided by Dubai government to ensure the achievement of institutional integration,” said Al Hajri.
