20th anniversary
In 2014, during the celebration of its 20th anniversary, the Minister of Housing at the time, Mostafa Madbouly, said 'the Urban Communities Authority’s budget had been expanded for the 2014/2015 fiscal year so that all plans may be implemented and completed'. A technology center opened that day in Sheikh Zayed City but residents complained about the lack of other facilities.[1][better source needed]
