Dubai has maintained its position as the world’s cleanest city for the sixth year in a row, according to the Global Power City Index issued by the Mori Memorial Foundation’s Institute for Urban Strategies in Japan.
The emirate recorded a 100 per cent satisfaction score for the cleanliness indicator under the environment pillar, placing it ahead of other major global cities assessed in the study.
The index measures urban performance across six main areas: quality of life, environment, economy, research and development, cultural interaction and accessibility. Rankings are based on more than 70 international indicators that evaluate competitiveness and overall city performance.
Officials said the result reflects long-term planning focused on maintaining a clean, healthy urban environment while supporting sustainable growth and high living standards.
Dubai Municipality cited continued efforts in citywide cleaning operations, public health standards, sustainable urban planning and the upkeep of parks, beaches, public facilities and community spaces as key factors behind the ranking.
