The leadership of Dubai Municipality, headed by His Excellency Eng. Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Director General of Dubai Municipality, has met with residents of Al Barsha in an open, on-the-ground dialogue session.
The meeting aimed to hear residents’ proposals for new parks and green recreational spaces that effectively address daily needs, genuinely reflect community aspirations, and meaningfully contribute to enhancing the overall quality of life for all.
During the meeting, the Municipality’s Public Facilities Agency presented plans to develop two parks and a central recreational space covering more than 31,000 square feet.
Residents shared their preferences to directly shape the design process, from safe play areas for children and running tracks for athletes, to family seating spaces, cycling lanes, and accessible facilities for all.
The discussion also addressed ongoing and upcoming construction activity in Al Barsha, providing detailed updates on various efforts to enhance and develop building systems, regulate and monitor housing rentals, and improve the quality and standards of accommodation for bachelors.
The Municipality aims to ensure well-planned, sustainable, and integrated urban development in Al Barsha, aligned with the needs of a growing and diverse population.

Our citizens are our priority, and their voice is the foundation of any successful project. We do not just design parks on paper; we design them with the people and for the people, ensuring every individual feels the space is part of daily life and offers advanced well-being for the whole community.”
Municipal leaders highlighted initiatives at Al Barsha designed to enhance customer experience, including the ‘Happiness Vehicle’, which visits citizens’ homes to complete digital transactions, and the ‘Virtual Appointment System’ enabling direct communication with Dubai Municipality leadership from anywhere.
The meeting concluded with Dubai Municipality reaffirming its commitment to ongoing community engagement and collaboration on projects that make Dubai more beautiful, livable, and enriching every day.
