Vision Magazine Online Issue 1

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.
