Dubai, United Arab Emirates, June 16, 2026: Dubai Municipality launched the “Specialized Asset Management Strategy 2026–2030”, which represents an institutional framework aimed at developing the asset management system, ensuring the efficient utilization of government assets and enhancing their sustainability, and establishing best institutional practices in asset lifecycle management, thereby supporting the quality of municipal services and enhancing spending efficiency and optimal use of resources .

The specialized strategy aims to build an integrated asset management system, from planning to operation. This system is based on the principles of effective governance, reliance on high-quality data, and long-term planning that ensures predictability and proactivity, enhances operational and maintenance efficiency, and guarantees asset sustainability and value maximization. It also supports the readiness of assets to efficiently and flexibly meet the needs of the city and community. Furthermore, it reflects the municipality's commitment to employing the latest practices to enhance quality of life, in line with Dubai's future aspirations to build a smart, sustainable city.

Overall asset management strategy

In addition to the specialized plan, Dubai Municipality developed the “General Strategy for Asset Management”, which is an umbrella that unifies the municipality’s institutional and strategic directions and its institutional approach to managing government assets, and highlights the main principles on which the municipality is based in developing the asset system, and enhancing integration between the technical, financial and operational aspects.

His Excellency Engineer Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Director General of Dubai Municipality , said: “The specialized asset management strategy and the overall asset management strategy represent a clear roadmap that consolidates Dubai Municipality’s institutional approach to the sustainable and comprehensive management of its assets according to global standards. They reflect our continuous commitment to developing a pioneering and proactive model in managing government assets, which supports the achievement of our strategic objectives and reinforces the municipality’s position as a leading government entity in adopting modern practices that enhance asset sustainability and raise the efficiency of services. Dubai Municipality’s assets are a fundamental pillar for the prosperity and growth of the city, and our goal is to continue maximizing the value of these assets, from advanced infrastructure to public and recreational facilities and destinations, to make Dubai more sustainable, pioneering, and of higher quality of life.”

For his part, Engineer Nasser Hamad Boushahab, Executive Director of the Planning and Governance Sector at Dubai Municipality , affirmed that the development of these strategies reflects Dubai Municipality's proactive approach to enhancing its institutional readiness to meet current and future demands. He stated, "The two strategies provide a precise and practical framework for improving the quality of asset-related decisions and prioritizing needs, thereby increasing integration among the organizational units responsible for asset management and ensuring positive outcomes that will benefit Dubai's residents, visitors, and the wider community."

Investing in Dubai’s assets is pivotal to supporting sustainable economic growth and meeting the needs of the population by providing outstanding services to all customer segments. In light of this growth, the importance of assets increases as a key element in supporting infrastructure, enhancing the efficiency of service delivery, and improving the quality of life .

In the same context, Dubai Municipality’s long-term approach to asset management is based on the principles contained in the Asset Management Standards Series ( ISO 55000:2024 ), as the municipality continues to assess the maturity level of its asset management system and the effectiveness of its contribution to achieving institutional goals, in order to support the development of institutional capabilities in accordance with international standards and best practices.

Through its overall asset management strategy, the municipality seeks to share its directions and experiences with partners from government agencies, in order to support knowledge exchange, enhance government cooperation, and develop common practices in the field of government asset management .
