With $6.75 trillion worth of urban projects planned in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia (MEASA) region, the UAE is taking a leading role in sustainable construction through initiatives like UAE Vision 2031.[?] To further these efforts, the Big 5 Global Leaders’ Summit and the LiveableCitiesX Summit will convene government and private sector leaders to discuss the future of urban development, focusing on innovation and sustainable infrastructure.
The UAE is committed to sustainable global leadership, particularly within the construction sector. We are focused not just on dialogue but on action, adopting innovative solutions that enhance society’s quality of life. At Big 5 Global, I look forward to addressing the importance of public-private partnerships and advanced technology in building a resilient, future-ready industry.

The UAE Minister of Energy and Infrastructure
By 2080, 80% of the world's population is expected to live in cities.[?] These summits will bring together governments and businesses to talk about sustainable growth, building better infrastructure, and creating communities that can withstand challenges. The discussions will support both national goals and international sustainability efforts.
