Doha, Qatar:  As part of its efforts to humanise cities and improve urban services, the Ministry of Municipality (MoM) implemented the first phase of the Smart City Solutions Project, marking a significant step forward in Qatar’s journey towards smarter, more sustainable and people-centred urban development.

The initiative reflects the Ministry’s broader 2025 achievements, which focused on improving quality of life, protecting the environment and accelerating digital transformation across the country.

One of the most prominent projects launched during the year was the first phase of the Smart City Solutions Project, dedicated to smart waste management in Al Wakrah City, according to the annual achievement report of the Ministry of Municipality for 2025, issued recently.  

The project delivered tangible environmental and operational results, contributing directly to sustainability goals. Monthly carbon emissions were reduced by an average of 578 tonnes of CO2, while the number of waste containers collected daily fell by 42 percent.

In parallel, the number of compactors used in operations was reduced by 50 percent, leading to improved efficiency and a monthly fuel saving of approximately 18,000 litres. These outcomes underline the Ministry’s commitment to adopting innovative technologies that reduce environmental impact while enhancing service quality. Digital transformation remained a central pillar of the Ministry’s work in 2025. A total of 287 electronic services were developed and enhanced to improve accessibility and efficiency.
