What is Municipal Presence?

The Abu Dhabi Municipal Presence consists of centres distributed throughout the Emirate serving as local hubs for resident support, engagement and community connection. Through these centres, a new channel for ongoing dialogue between community and government has been established. The Municipal Presence enhances everyday life in communities and contributes to the city’s ambition of becoming a globally recognised, people-focused capital. Amongst other tasks, they promote the use of digital services, support the preservation of public appearance, and foster a shared sense of responsibility for city spaces.
