Abu Dhabi's Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) has launched a new study project to explore the Mussafah redevelopment, reinforcing the district's role as a leading industrial and investment hub while improving quality of life across the emirate.
Waterfront Revitalisation at the Core
According to a DMT statement, the initial phase of the study will focus on revitalising Mussafah's waterfront. Plans include the creation of expansive green spaces, upgraded public facilities, and design elements that preserve the area's unique character while enhancing its overall appeal.
The redevelopment aligns with Abu Dhabi's broader urban strategy to modernise ageing industrial districts without sacrificing their economic identity.
Improving Infrastructure and the Live-Work Environment
Through the study, DMT aims to address Mussafah's future needs by improving essential services, attracting further investment, and delivering a more integrated work-and-living environment that supports both economic growth and social well-being.
Road improvement works are being planned along key routes, including the Mussafah–Al Ain Road (E30) and Street 8. These enhancements are intended to improve traffic flow, support all road users, and facilitate the efficient movement of commercial goods.
Inspections and Awareness Campaigns Step Up
Alongside the redevelopment plans, DMT has intensified inspection operations and awareness campaigns targeting residents and business owners in Mussafah. The initiative aims to ensure compliance with municipal regulations, curb irregular practices, and address visual and environmental issues affecting the area.
These measures also support broader efforts to improve public health, safety, and urban cleanliness, while addressing concerns related to residential overoccupancy.
Positioning Mussafah as a Global Economic Benchmark
Eng Eisa Mubarak Almazrouei, Acting Director General of Infrastructure Development at DMT, said Mussafah plays a pivotal role in Abu Dhabi's industrial and trade landscape.
"This study, undertaken alongside our strategic partners, aims to explore the adoption of innovative solutions in infrastructure, transportation and smart urban design to enhance the district's competitiveness, positioning Mussafah as a global benchmark for economic zones," he said.
DMT confirmed that further details about the redevelopment project and its various stages will be announced in due course.
