Members of the Committee will monitor the performance of all entities involved, establish performance indicators, and measure progress, public satisfaction, and the impact of policies and campaigns.

The Committee will leverage advanced technologies, including AI, to enable early detection and mitigation of negative trends, propose the necessary resources and budgets, establish subcommittees and working groups, and develop support strategies to address implementation challenges.

All government entities responsible for developing the city’s urban landscape are required to cooperate with the newly formed Committee by regularly providing data, reports, statistics, and studies to support strategy development and informed decision-making.
