Doha, Qatar: On the occasion of World Cities Day, observed annually on October 31, Qatar reaffirmed its pioneering role in designing sustainable, healthy, and smart urban environments that prioritise human wellbeing, environmental preservation, and technological innovation.

One of the major achievements highlighted is Qatar’s remarkable expansion of green spaces. Since 2010, the country has increased its green areas tenfold, introducing a wide range of public parks, community gardens, and landscaped open spaces.

These developments have created safe, welcoming environments for residents and visitors to enjoy, promoting outdoor leisure, recreation, and social interaction while significantly contributing to environmental sustainability and urban wellbeing.

The country’s ongoing achievements are closely aligned with the Qatar National Vision 2030, which envisions a balanced and inclusive future through comprehensive strategies aimed at enhancing quality of life and ensuring well-planned urban growth.

Marking World Cities Day, the Ministry of Municipality on its X platform spotlighted a range of accomplishments and projects that have positioned Qatar as a global leader in sustainable city development.
