DUBAI’S URBAN TECH RANKS IT 4TH IN IMD SMART CITY INDEX 2025

Dubai is one of the few cities that keeps elevating its standards every new year, offering one of the best places in the world to work, live, and invest. Ranking 4th globally in the IMD Smart City Index in 2025, here are some of the achievements that the Emirate has presented this year:

• Online medical appointments booked recorded an 84.5 satisfaction score

• 86.5% for cultural activities

• 86.5% confidence in the internet for communication needs

• Digital ID processing achieved a score of 85.4%

• 82.8% for top-class health services

• 83.4% happy with access to green spaces

• 84.3% are satisfied with recycling programs

As per the report, Dubai developed all four areas of technology management while covering 16 out of 20 tech areas. This report is produced by the IMD World Competitiveness Centre, which monitors multiple areas of development, including health, activities, mobility, governance, and opportunities.

What makes this report interesting is that the ratings are collected through resident surveys and city-level indicators. Understanding the technological, strategic, transportation, and other sectors helps the IMD showcase how the quality of life improves every single year for residents in Dubai.

This phenomenon is both the reason for and the result of the Emirate’s thriving inflow of professionals and investors who choose to live, work, and invest in Dubai. Every year, as the population increases, the city increases its value and capability as a hub for business and innovation. Therefore, it attracts more businesses, investors, and professionals who will contribute to further development in the coming years.

While this is one of many reports placing Dubai high in a global context, the living conditions themselves offer one of the best lifestyles in the world. This is proven by the boost in residential property sales.
