Expanded infrastructure, including new roads, cycling tracks, parks and community areas, to create a better living environment.
Ajman has unveiled a Dh1.8 billion development programme featuring 30 major urban projects to be implemented over the next five years. The initiative will focus on upgrading road networks, expanding green spaces, improving public facilities and enhancing mobility across the emirate.
Launched by Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman and Chairman of the Executive Council, the AM30x30 agenda supports the objectives of Ajman Vision 2030 by promoting a more liveable, sustainable and family-friendly city.
The projects are organised into five key packages covering road development, infrastructure upgrades, sustainable mobility solutions and public amenities.
Sheikh Ammar said Ajman’s development journey will continue beyond individual projects and achievements, with ongoing investments focused on enhancing quality of life and reinforcing the emirate’s position as an attractive destination to live, work and invest.
