The government of Dubai is planning Dubai Design District, a dedicated area to develop fashion, design and luxury sectors in Dubai and UAE.
The Dubai Design District will be adjacent to the Business Bay area of Dubai. The district is expected to become a full service commercial hub for design industry-related organisations, brands, and supporting enterprises within the value chain. It will feature a custom-built creative community that will encompass purpose-built commercial and retail facilities for established and emerging designers, design institutes, waterfront promenade, convention centre and event venues and related academic institutions.
Dubai Design District will be operated by TECOM Investments, a member of Dubai Holding.
Dubai Design District is another initiative taken by the government towards the much hyped Expo 2020 event.
