Under the leadership of Ahmed Fadel Al Muhairbi, Acting Director General, the Abu Dhabi City Municipality stands as a driving force behind the Emirate’s comprehensive development and urban renaissance. With a strong commitment to innovation, creativity, and excellence, the municipality continues to align its efforts with Abu Dhabi’s ambitious and future-focused vision.
The Department of Municipalities and Transport plays a central role in this mission, translating leadership directives into impactful initiatives that enhance community life and meet evolving needs with professionalism and integrity. Backed by the trust of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Executive Council, the municipality remains committed to strengthening its institutional capabilities, service delivery, and culture of excellence.
This commitment is rooted in the UAE’s legacy of visionary leadership, which has propelled the nation’s remarkable growth across all sectors. Since the establishment of the Abu Dhabi City Municipality in 1962, and the appointment of its first municipal board in 1969, the focus has been on strategic planning, infrastructure development, and public service.
In 2007, the Department of Municipal Affairs was formed to oversee the municipalities, and in 2016, it evolved into the Department of Municipal Affairs and Transport, combining municipal and transport services under one cohesive framework.
Together, these developments reflect a clear, consistent vision: to ensure Abu Dhabi’s continued growth, elevate the quality of life for its residents, and build a future-ready city rooted in excellence, sustainability, and innovation.
