Dubai seeks to be city of culture, knowledge
Dubai has set its vision as a city of culture and knowledge. The Knowledge and Human Development Authority, lead by Director General Dr. Abdulla Al Karam, met with the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority to discuss synergy in pursuing the goal of a city where the arts “covers the whole of a person’s journey through life.”
Dubai is a fast growing city with an aggressive development plan. The focus on knowledge and culture is being enacted early enough to have a strong impact on that development.
Having a vision and the ability to enact that vision are the foundations of developing new cultures. This puts Dubai is the unusual position of capturing existing culture, recognizing historical culture, and blending it all together for a new culture. ¶ 5/15/2008
