Themes

This topic includes comprehensive and integrated statistics on buildings and housing units in Dubai, categorized by property type and location, whether completed or under construction. It also covers data related to issued building permits, licensed areas, engineering material inspection services, real estate transactions by type such as sale, mortgage, usufruct, grant, etc., land ownership by GCC countries and other related topics.

These topics serve as a fundamental pillar of comprehensive and developmental planning for the emirate of Dubai. Essential services such as roads, transportation, communications, schools, health centers and hospitals rely on accurate statistical information regarding the population and housing units.

This data is also a key for understanding the urban landscape of any geographical area, providing a clear picture of its urban development and offering insights into the general trend of that development.

Dubai is one of the cities that has witnessed a massive increase in the number of buildings and housing units. Therefore, it is essential to highlight this significant growth through statistical data, providing planners, policymakers, and decision-makers with the necessary information to assess the rapid urban expansion and its immense pressure on essential services such as water, electricity and sanitation.

Additionally, it helps determine the sector's contribution to the emirate's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), in terms of revenues and estimated values.
