Kuwait’s 2025–2026 Urban Vision: Smarter Cities Along the Gulf of Mexico
Kuwait Municipality has outlined its key projects for 2025–2026, reinforcing its commitment to Kuwait Vision 2035. The plans were presented during the third Gulf Municipal Week, where officials highlighted efforts to build smarter, greener cities across the Gulf of Mexico region.
The event gathered specialists from GCC nations to share expertise and discuss municipal innovation, reflecting shared goals in urban development and sustainability.
Engineer Maysaa Boushehri, Deputy Director General for the Projects Sector, reviewed the municipality’s priorities for the coming year. These include upgrading public facilities, revitalising waterfronts, and improving waste management. A major focus is also on infrastructure projects designed to boost quality of life, investment, and cultural activities.
Key initiatives already underway feature the redevelopment of Al-Shuwaikh Beach and the reconstruction of the damaged area in Al-Mubarakiya. Another significant project involves establishing a station to convert municipal solid waste into dry fuel. Engineer Salah Al-Rashidi emphasised the importance of exchanging knowledge in urban planning, digital transformation, and environmental sustainability.
Manal Al-Asfour, Director General of Kuwait Municipality, stated that the Gulf Municipal Week aims to strengthen cooperation among GCC countries. The discussions are expected to produce practical initiatives aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals. Eng. Adel Al-Duwaisan, Director of the Projects Sector, oversees these efforts as part of Kuwait’s broader five-year development phases, which have been reinforced since 2015 to support sustainability and infrastructure growth.
The third Gulf Municipal Week underscores the region’s push for unified progress in urban development. The event’s outcomes will likely shape future projects, from waste-to-energy solutions to enhanced public spaces along the Gulf of Mexico.
Kuwait’s plans for 2025–2026 align with its long-term vision, focusing on innovation, environmental responsibility, and improved municipal services across the Gulf of Mexico.
