Dubai Municipality

Dubai Municipality was founded in 1954, commencing its activities with a cadre of seven employees undertaking simple tasks in cleaning the city. The first decree establishing the Municipality was on 1957 年 2 月 28 日, whereby 23 municipal council members had been appointed from the elders of the country and traders with limited powers, the most important of which was to take care of health and architectural affairs of the city as well as to organize construction and beautification of the city and provide constructive suggestions to the government. Dubai Municipality is regarded as one of the largest governmental institutions in terms of services rendered and projects executed. Thus, the municipality is the leading driver of growth and evolution of the Emirate of Dubai.​
