THE LAUNCH:

ABU DHABI'S LIVABILITY AGENDA.

Senior Abu Dhabi government leaders gathered at Zayed National Museum to launch LIVEX, setting out how livability is now shaping investment decisions and where long-term capital is deployed.

DMT Chairman Mohamed Ali Al Shorafa delivered the keynote, describing a city built on the principle that quality of life and economic strength "must advance together."
