As part of the strategic partnership between Dubai Land Department (DLD) and the 18th edition of Cityscape Global 2019, which was inaugurated today by Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, DLD offered a range of applications and services aimed at enhancing transparency in the real estate sector, open up new horizons for investment, and raise awareness of a number of new legislations recently issued for Dubai’s real estate sector.

During the tour of Cityscape, Sheikh Ahmed  was accompanied by  Sultan Butti bin Mejren, Director General of DLD, and  Dawood Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality. Organising Cityscape this year comes in conjunction with the legislations approved by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

Bin Mejren commented: “DLD’s strategic partnership with this edition of Cityscape reflects our belief and mission to promote properties in Dubai as a testament to the evolution of the sector from year to year. This year, Cityscape is gaining increased interest from all relevant parties, including developers, investors, buyers, and representatives of the global media, who are reporting the positive effects on the sector following the issuance of a number of new property legislations in Dubai.  We are confident that our wise leadership aims to provide the sector with the ability to keep pace with the rapid changes, increase reassurance among investors, and provide additional momentum for the growth of the sector.”

Bin Mejren added: “Our platform will be ready to receive the large numbers of expected visitors, who will be provided with extensive information on the new initiatives aimed at making Dubai a global investment hub. We have been keen on integrating all our departments and ensure our high-quality participation to enrich the visitors’ experience as well as provide them with the support and assistance needed to make investment decisions based on transparent data, which guarantees exceptional benefits and better returns than any other option.”
