Projecting the Future of
Housing and Sustainable Community Development

EVENT OVERVIEW

Despite the global economic uncertainties, the Arab region is witnessing unprecedented growth in the housing sector, with giga projects being launched across the region. The Arab world makes up roughly 6% of the global population, and this population needs adequate housing to ensure stability and consistent growth. The Dubai real estate market alone is set to grow by 46% in 2023, after 980,000 units were added in 2022. Whilst Saudi Arabia added 3.9 million units, with the real estate market forecast to be valued at USD $161 billion.

The Arab Housing and Community Development Forum is hosted in Abu Dhabi, on 11 – 12 September 2023, as a platform that examines the region’s rapidly developing housing sector, in relation to the global sustainability accords and trends. The forum aims to highlight the advancements in the real estate development sector, the challenges, the growing need for green development, and the housing market’s status quo in the region, as it pivots towards a greener future.

Join us at the forum to discuss the challenges and opportunities in the housing and infrastructure sectors. Key stakeholders from government authorities, private developers, contractors, builders, and tech providers will be present to showcase subsidized housing programs, breakthroughs, and achievements. Discover innovative solutions and strategies to drive the sector’s development and the importance of collaboration among stakeholders.
