The Dubai government never stops reinventing the wheel to maintain its position as a regional centre for economic excellence. The urban masterplan – which serves as a talking point for development and attracting investment – has been revised seven times since 1960 (commonly called the ‘Harris masterplan’ after its developer John Harris) to keep pace with Dubai’s ambitions and its desire to be ahead of the demand curve. The last revision, in March 2021, will cater to demands by 2040 and has set a target of making Dubai the ‘best city for living in the world’. Dubai has crossed several milestones with its earlier masterplans and even set trend-setting targets. A case in point is the Palm Jumeirah that resulted in new land being dredged out of the sea and built on. Innovation has been at the heart of these plans, as the Palm was initiated by Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority, which changed to Jebel Ali Properties. That evolved into Palm developers and finally Nakheel.
