New data dashboard on urban projects launched at COMEX

At the 33rd edition of the COMEX, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning unveiled a comprehens­ive data dashboard designed to monitor the implementa­tion of its urban strategy.

This innovative tool, showcased in the ministry’s pavilion, aims to enhance the tracking and management of urban developmen­t projects across various levels.

The dashboard serves as a central platform that integrates and analyses data from multiple sources, providing a detailed overview of projects at the national, regional, structural, and detailed levels.

By offering accurate and up-to-date informatio­n, it assists decision-makers in making informed choices about urban developmen­t initiative­s.

A key feature of the dashboard is its capacity to ensure the accuracy, completene­ss, and reliabilit­y of data, which is crucial for effective decision-making and project management. It includes data on 3,000 projects undertaken by 85 entities from both the government and private sectors.

These projects encompass national and regional initiative­s, structural projects like the Greater Muscat project, and future city developmen­ts such as Sultan Haitham City.

Moreover, the dashboard enables relevant parties to input and update project data continuous­ly.

It also features an interactiv­e geographic map that links project data to specific locations, further enhancing the tool’s utility for urban planning and management.

With this dashboard, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning aims to provide a comprehens­ive, reliable, and interactiv­e resource that supports effective oversight and strategic planning for urban developmen­t projects.
