Dubai is set to maintain double-digit economic growth, achieve a GDP of US$108 billion and increase its real per capita GDP to $44,000 by 2015, according to HH Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who is UAE Prime Minister and Vice President, and Ruler of Dubai.

He unveiled the Dubai Strategic Plan, under the theme “Dubai – Where The Future Begins”. In it, a strategic approach has been formulated, focusing on developing the emirate’s most dynamic economic sectors that have been behind Dubai’s annual real GDP growth rate of 13% since 2000.

For instance, in infrastructure, land and the environment, the plan covers four main areas – urban planning, energy, electricity and water, roads and transportation and the environment. An integrated roads and transportation system will be introduced to facilitate movement and improve safety. This will promote greater use of public transport, increased road network and transportation system capacity.
