Welcome Keeping you better informed At the Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council (UPC) we consider communication to be vital: people are at the heart of everything we do. We take time to listen to the people of Abu Dhabi to ensure we meet the needs and wants of the various communities across the Emirate so that we improve the quality of life for all. We take time to listen to businesses to ensure we help them thrive, and the wider and diversified economy to grow. We work hard to communicate the fast paced changes across Abu Dhabi Emirate to all stakeholders. This new quarterly magazine, “VISION”, is part of our commitment to ensure that everyone is kept up to date with the plans and urban developments within their cities, towns, islands and rural areas across the Emirate. It also links with our website www.upc.gov.ae which contains a wealth of easily accessible, up to date information; please do take the opportunity to look. Cityscape Abu Dhabi will be showcasing the most exciting real estate projects across the Emirate, including the first viewing of the UPC’s 23 by 17 metre model of the city of Abu Dhabi. We felt that Cityscape Abu Dhabi was the appropriate place and time to launch our new magazine so that visitors, as well as the general public, can understand how all these proposed developments will come together to create our new city. I hope you enjoy this first issue of “VISION” and find it a valuable guide to some of the changes happening in Abu Dhabi and also the role that we at the UPC are taking in shaping a better place for you all to live, work and play. H.E. Falah Mohamed Al Ahbabi General Manager Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council We always welcome and value your feedback. Please email us at vision@upc.gov.ae ISSUE ONE - VISION MAGAZINE 5
