A massive boost for residents: Inside Ajman’s Dh1.8bn community transformation plan
Ajman has launched one of its biggest infrastructure programmes to date, investing Dh1.8 billion in a wide-ranging development plan called AM30x30. The initiative includes 30 projects that will be rolled out between 2026 and 2030 to improve roads, transport, parks, and public spaces across the emirate.
Here’s what you need to know.
What is AM30x30?
AM30x30 is Ajman Municipality’s long-term development agenda designed to support Ajman Vision 2030. The programme focuses on creating a more sustainable, connected, and liveable city by upgrading infrastructure and expanding community facilities.
Why is Ajman investing Dh1.8 billion?
The investment is intended to:
- Improve traffic flow and reduce congestion.
- Build better roads and pedestrian infrastructure.
- Expand cycling and walking networks.
- Increase green spaces and public parks.
- Support Ajman’s growing population.
- Attract new businesses and investors.
- Enhance residents’ overall quality of life.
What projects are included?
The programme is divided into five main packages.
1. Better Roads and Junctions
Major roads and roundabouts across Ajman will be upgraded, including the Al Zorah area and several key streets. New pedestrian bridges and stormwater drainage systems will also be built to improve safety and reduce flooding during heavy rain.
2. Improved Residential Roads
Roads in neighbourhoods such as Al Rashidiya, Al Rawdah, Al Yasmeen, Al Helio, Masfout and Al Manama will be paved and upgraded, making daily travel smoother for residents.
3. Wider Roads to Ease Traffic
Several important roads will be widened or improved, including Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Street and Al Tallah Street. New roads will also be developed in the Mohammed bin Zayed residential area.
4. More Cycling and Walking Spaces
Ajman plans to add 16 kilometres of new cycling tracks across the emirate and develop the Al Uqdah Walkway. These projects are designed to encourage healthier lifestyles and promote environmentally friendly transport.
5. More Parks and Green Areas
Around 330,000 square metres of new parks and community spaces will be created in several residential areas. The aim is to provide families with more recreational facilities while increasing the amount of green space available to residents.
What are the targets by 2030?
Ajman Municipality has set several key goals, including:
- Increasing new road construction by 43%.
- Expanding cycling tracks by 33%.
- Increasing public recreational space to 4.79 square metres per person.
- Creating a more sustainable and environmentally friendly urban environment.
How will residents benefit?
For people living in Ajman, the programme is expected to deliver several everyday improvements, including:
- Shorter travel times through upgraded roads.
- Safer walking and cycling routes.
- More parks for families and children.
- Better drainage systems during rainy weather.
- Improved public spaces and neighbourhood facilities.
- Higher property values in developing areas.
- A cleaner, greener and more attractive city.
As Ajman’s population continues to grow, investing in transport, infrastructure and public amenities has become increasingly important. The AM30x30 programme is designed not only to improve daily life for residents but also to prepare the emirate for future growth.
If completed as planned, the initiative will transform many parts of Ajman into more connected, accessible and people-friendly communities over the next five years.
