"Dubai continues to set standards for urban mobility and urbanism."
Innovative metro lines, "smart" roads, and integrated public transport have made movement around the metropolis faster than in Sydney, Berlin, or Milan.

Since its launch in 2009, the Dubai Metro has reduced passenger trips by 29.8 billion kilometers. The Blue Line ($5.6 billion) will open by 2029, strengthening the "20-minute city" concept.
Areas near major hubs (Downtown, Marina, Business Bay) have seen prices grow by 6–16%, outpacing the market.
The Travel Time Index (TTI) improved from 1.28 in 2014 to 1.23 in 2024 (a 4% reduction). According to the TomTom Traffic Index 2024, Dubai outperformed Sydney, Montreal, Rome, and Milan.
Building one kilometer of metro in Dubai is 36% cheaper than in London and 55% cheaper than in Sydney. Cost optimization makes the city a global benchmark for sustainable development.
