Dubai’s Civility Committee Will Build “The Most Beautiful & Civilized City In The World”

The Dubai Civility Committee held its inaugural meeting, guided by the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and the directives of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to make Dubai the best and most civilised city in the world.

Chaired by H.E. Mohammad Al Gergawi, the meeting brought together senior officials including H.E. Mattar Al Tayer, H.E. Abdulla Al Basti, H.E. Omar Al Olama, H.E. Lt. General Abdullah Al Marri, H.E. Helal Al Marri, and H.E. Eng. Marwan bin Ghalita.

The Committee reviewed the Dubai Civility Framework, which aims to build a city rooted in values, respect, architectural beauty, and human-centred development

The framework focuses on strengthening public behaviour, visual harmony, and overall quality of life, ensuring civility is reflected in everyday interactions, public spaces, and institutional practices.

H.E. Al Gergawi emphasised that civility is central to Dubai’s identity—measured not only by urban development, but by cleanliness, aesthetics, respect for rules, and the conduct of its people. He stressed that the committee will create an integrated system to develop, measure, and monitor civility with clear indicators, technology-driven tracking, and ongoing benchmarking against global standards.

During the meeting, members discussed research collaboration with global experts, enhanced compliance and monitoring tools, and programmes to embed positive values across the community. The committee also approved work plans to strengthen Dubai’s visual identity and elevate the public realm.

To support its goals, the Committee introduced a set of Civility Indicators to measure and monitor daily life in Dubai:

• Civility Visual Indicator – architectural beauty and urban harmony
• Public Cleanliness Indicator – cleanliness of streets and facilities
• Public Calmness Indicator – noise reduction and preservation of peaceful spaces
• Public Behaviour Indicator – respectful conduct and community cooperation
• Discipline and Order Indicator – policy effectiveness and enforcement standards

Together, these measures aim to safeguard Dubai’s refined urban experience and reinforce its position among the world’s most beautiful, orderly, and civilized cities.
