- BY JAY HILOTIN

Abu Dhabi has earmarked down Dh42 billion to give the city the ultimate liveable vibe.

This is going into the next phase of the emirate's 'liveability strategy'. The aim: Further spruce up neighbourhoods with tiptop upgrades.

Think better connections, awesome parks, and a whole mood shift from 67 per cent neighbourhood integration in 2023 to a straight 81 per cent in 2025. The drive, led by the Department of Municipalities & Transport, Abu Dhabi, seeks to ramp it up even more. Talk about a quality-of-life upgrade. You could opt to ditch the car keys for this one. Abu Dhabi is rolling out 120km of walkable paths and 283km of cycling tracks to keep you strolling or biking like a pro.

Public transport is getting a glow-up too. Whether you are heading to school, the park, or just flexing with the squad, you're covered.

Leadership committed to improving quality of life
