HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed praises visionary projects at Cityscape Abu Dhabi

IIR Middle East, the organiser of Cityscape Abu Dhabi, had extended the showcase by one day after an official request by the Abu Dhabi Government.

HH Sheikh Mohammed toured the show once again, this time stopping off to view projects by major developers Sama Dubai, Tamouh and Manazel. The Abu Dhabi Government was represented by the Department of Municipal Affairs and the Urban Planning Council, who both presented HH Sheikh Mohammed with a brief overview and progress report.

Mark Goodchild, Project Manager, Cityscape Abu Dhabi said, "This year His Highness generously offered his patronage for a second successive year and has taken a keen interest in the development of the show. Sheikh Mohammed praised the visionary projects on view and expressed his confidence in the future landscape of the UAE capital."

The show which was sold out some months ago, featured over 300 confirmed exhibitor stands covering more than 30,000 square metres of exhibition space. The event attracted over 50,000 visitors, including show visitors, pre-registered visitors, exhibitors, sponsors, VIPs, conference speakers and delegates, more than triple the numbers recorded last year according to Cityscape Abu Dhabi organizers.

In addition to solid government support, locally-based real estate heavyweights such as Mubadala, Sorouh Real Estate, ALDAR Properties and Al Qudra Real Estate had a significant presence, underlining their commitment to the sustainable development of Abu Dhabi.
