Dr. Khalfan pointed out that the move to develop Oman’s urban landscape constitutes an incarnation of Oman Vision 2040. It envisages the expected urban growth, the population rise and economic transition. He explained that, pursuant to this model, steps are being taken to restructure and modify the trend of development projects.
Dr. Khalfan said that the primary goal of Sultan Haitham City (namely urban development projects) is to set up in-country value (ICV) projects and generate economic benefits for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within the city’s projects.
Dr. Khalfan added that a special awareness and media team was formed to study opportunities for marketing and participation in international forums, with the prime objective of attracting investors and introducing more urban development in Oman.
