IllustrationAbu Dhabi announced its Cities for Families Framework on October 1, aiming to bring the needs of families, children, caregivers, seniors and people of determination into city planning. Developed over two years by the Department of Municipalities and Transport, the Department of Community Development and the Early Childhood Authority, it addresses homes, public spaces, services and neighbourhood access.
The framework turns five goals into 15 strategies and 63 practical actions. The source cites shorter journeys, services closer to home, and shaded, accessible routes as examples. During LIVEX 2026, the Early Childhood Authority brought representatives from 16 government and private-sector organisations together to identify priorities and explore possible pilot initiatives; these were described as implementation planning, not completed projects.
