History

20th anniversary

Sheikh Zayed City celebrated its 20th anniversary in November 2014. That month, a technological service centre opened to provide administrative services to residents and investors. Housing Minister Mostafa Madbouly said that the budget of the New Urban Communities Authority would be increased to support development in new cities.[7] During the anniversary celebrations, residents raised complaints with Madbouly about inadequate services and unfinished infrastructure.[1]
