Message from Simon Azzam, CEO Majid Al Futtaim Properties – Communities, UAE

In today's emerging economies, cities are undergoing rapid growth, during the course of which it takes careful planning to build true communities. This is the new urban reality.

At Majid Al Futtaim, we strive to build living environments that link people with their surroundings to create the lasting bonds that are the foundation of prosperous neighbourhoods. This topic will be discussed in detail on Day 1 of the prestigious Future Cities conference, taking place on 21-23 September 2014 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

Hosted at Cityscape Global, the region's principle real estate event, Future Cities will explore Dubai's position on the global stage, as well as that of other key cities including Beirut, Mumbai, Nairobi, Palestine, Iowa, Texas, Erbil, the Holy City of Makkah, Lagos and others.

Majid Al Futtaim is proud to be Headline Sponsor for Future Cities and as such, it is my pleasure to introduce
Lee Tabler, our Executive Director for Development who will be drawing on some three decades of experience in enhancing global metropolises during his Session entitled MENA: Interdependent communities as building blocks for cities of the future taking place at 15.20 on Sunday 21 September.
