Sharjah Urban Planning Council (SUPC) plays an important role in shaping a vibrant and prosperous future for the emirate, its residents and visitors. The council strives to enrich the lives of people in the emirate by supporting cultural traditions, high-quality planning, brilliant design, clean environments, resource management and more.
SUPC was founded in 2006 to meet the requirements of a growing population in Sharjah and a burgeoning business community. Since its establishment, the Council has been keen to translate the transformational development drive witnessed by the Emirate of Sharjah into tangible success on the ground.
SUPC was given more powers and responsibilities in 2014 through an Emiri Decree. His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, revamped the SUPC and Sheikh Khalid bin Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi was appointed as its Chairman.
Sheikh Khalid bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairman of the Sharjah Urban Planning Council, said, “Since 2014, the Council has been working on strategies to deliver high-quality urban design to improve the lives of people across the Emirate. Our aim is to ensure a better future for the inhabitants of Sharjah’s cities and suburbs.”
Sheikh Khalid said, “The Council has left no stone unturned to develop a comprehensive strategy for urban development and infrastructure projects that meet the ambitions of the Ruler of Sharjah and also the lifestyle expectations of the emirate’s residents. We are cooperating with different government departments to ensure the improvement of Sharjah’s standard of living.”
Eng Khalid Mohammed Al Ali, SUPC’s Secretary General, said, “The long-term sustainability of Sharjah is our top priority and that’s the reason all of our public-realm projects play an integral role in ensuring a highly livable future for Sharjah. Our vision is to see the emirate among the leading cities in the world that are recognised for having a high quality of life and innovative public spaces.”
