A new Hewi Dubai initiative brings together Dubai Municipality, the General Construction Company, and Binghatti to expand the program across the emirate, aiming to strengthen community engagement, improve quality of life, and enhance social cohesion in neighbourhood spaces.

Abdullah Binghatti describes the partnership as an opportunity to create integrated community spaces that boost social interaction, local identity, and overall quality of life through well-designed environments.

Architectural elements like the Dajja and Saha preserve the fareej essence while enabling quiet gatherings and flexible meeting, celebration, and activity spaces.

Signatories include Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Director-General of Dubai Municipality, Hamad Ali Saif Lootah, Chairman of the General Construction Company, and Abdullah Binghatti, Head of Sales at Binghatti, with senior officials in attendance.

Dubai Municipality will continue overseeing the development of public and recreational facilities to enhance urban livability and position Dubai as a global benchmark for quality of life.

The initiative promotes a collaborative development model that blends public and private sector expertise to create new community destinations and invites additional investors and partners for future Hewi Dubai locations.

Dubai Municipality seeks partnerships with more investors, partners, and developers to contribute to Hewi Dubai locations across the emirate.

Hewi Dubai, developed with the Dubai Future Foundation, aims to create contemporary community spaces that welcome seniors, children, and families for outdoor and social activities, reviving the fareej ethos through Dajja (semi-open gathering near mosques) and Saha (flexible indoor/outdoor area for events and play).

The partnership builds on the first phase of Hewi Dubai in Nad Al Sheba 4, aiming to redesign neighbourhood courtyards to be inclusive, socially cohesive, and aligned with global standards and Emirati culture.

Marwan bin Ghalita notes that the initiative seeks to deliver inclusive, architecturally thoughtful neighbourhood courtyards and facilities that connect residents and reflect Emirati identity.
