The 21st edition of the Cityscape Global Summit and Exhibition (Cityscape Global Summit and Exhibition) took place on Sunday, November 7, at the Expo 2020 Dubai. The event is part of the DLD’s hard work to reinforce the emirate’s status as the most preferred real estate buying destination both regionally and globally in terms of investment appeal, innovative solutions and customer confidence levels, as well as to keep up with the latest global real estate developments.

The accompanying summit on November 7 and 8, with the participation of a wide range of real estate experts, addressed issues such as the changing demands of buyers, the challenges and opportunities facing the real estate market in the post-COVID-19 period, and the growing importance of a sustainable construction sector.

At the end of the summit (November 9-11), Cityscape Global will be held, and will feature many of the most prominent international real estate development companies. Cityscape 2021 will be innovative and modern and contribute towards strengthening Dubai’s real estate system and its digitalization, which is fully in line with the emirate’s desire to develop an integrated smart and digital environment at all levels.

As a strategic partner, the DLD will participate in the events accompanying Cityscape and will present a number of smart and innovative projects and services that aim to improve Dubai’s real estate sector in line with international best practices. Among the projects that will be showcased on the DLD platform at the show are the Smart Evaluation initiative, the Dubai REST application services and the Building Classification Survey project, which will be all launched during the show on November 10.

In addition, a number of smart and innovative services will be launched in line with the emirate’s digital trends, including the DLD document repository and the electronic No Objection Certificate (NOC), in addition to the interactive Ask Malek service on the DLD website and on the Dubai REST app.

A number of additional measures will be implemented alongside the exhibition, including the launch of the Dubai Commercial Real Estate Price Index at the Cityscape Summit and the launch of the real estate investment portal on the DLD website, which contains a guide to real estate investment, as well as the presentation of the annual Dubai Real Estate Sector Activity Report.

It is also worth mentioning that each year the DLD proves its rapid determination to achieve the highest quality standards in all its operations and services, in line with the values of transparency, professionalism, creativity and integration. The DLD tracks the latest developments and global changes in the industry, which contribute to supporting the direction of the State leadership for the coming years, aimed at creating the best and most vibrant economy in the world.

The Cityscape Summit & Expo 2021, along with Expo 2020, is an incredibly valuable opportunity to share knowledge and experience to discover new services and technologies to improve real estate investment opportunities on a global scale.
