emirates7 - The UAE Infrastructure and Housing Council convened its regular 2024 meeting, chaired by Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure. The session focused on identifying challenges and opportunities to enhance the efficiency and development of the infrastructure and housing sectors.
Al Mazrouei emphasized the council’s goal to ensure the infrastructure sector is future-ready and resilient to challenges. He highlighted the council's commitment to fostering collaboration between federal and local government entities to align efforts toward shared objectives. “The significant investments made in infrastructure reflect the vision of the UAE’s leadership, which prioritizes creating an integrated environment that drives economic and social growth, supporting the country’s global leadership ambitions,” he said.
The council remains dedicated to overseeing projects and initiatives with the highest standards of efficiency and quality, enhancing the nation’s competitiveness while improving societal well-being and happiness.
Addressing traffic congestion, Al Mazrouei identified it as a key challenge requiring targeted solutions. He noted that federal and local authorities are working together to implement innovative strategies, including upgrading infrastructure, improving public transport networks to make them more appealing, and promoting sustainable transport options to reduce dependence on private vehicles. Additionally, traffic policies are being improved to accommodate urban expansion, ensuring smooth and efficient transportation flows.
Al Mazrouei extended his gratitude to government representatives and council members, commending their collective efforts in achieving significant successes within a short period. He stressed that their collaboration has played a critical role in advancing unified national plans for the infrastructure and housing sectors.
The meeting also explored ways to improve electronic connectivity between federal and local entities to streamline procedures, reduce bureaucracy, and accelerate the execution of projects and initiatives. Enhanced digital coordination will ensure seamless service delivery that meets citizens' and residents' expectations while supporting the government’s vision of comprehensive digital transformation.
Furthermore, discussions included the development of an electronic system for managing competitiveness indicators in infrastructure, transportation, and housing. This unified platform aims to centralize and integrate efforts, ensuring up-to-date and accurate data for strategic decision-making.
The system will improve performance monitoring and enable the evaluation of competitiveness indicators, helping stakeholders enhance performance and align with global trends. The platform will ultimately strengthen coordination, optimize resources, and drive continuous progress in the infrastructure and housing sectors.
