It also aims to enhance resource efficiency in accordance with the goals of the Dubai Urban Plan 2040. By adopting these advanced technologies, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment reaffirms its pivotal role in achieving the emirate's goals for a smart and sustainable housing future.

Training National Cadres

In addition to these technological advancements, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment has trained several national cadres from various categories within the institution. This training enables them to use drone technologies, analyze data, and extract information that supports decision-making, thereby enhancing reliance on the institution's internal cadres for continuous development.

Overall, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment's adoption of drone and AI technologies represents a significant step forward in the evolution of housing projects in Dubai. By integrating these cutting-edge technologies, the establishment is setting new benchmarks for innovation, efficiency, and sustainability in the housing sector, contributing to the broader vision of transforming Dubai into the world's smartest city.
