During an official visit to view the Dubai Design District (d3) masterplan development, Her Highness Sheikha Latifa Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice Chairman of the Dubai Culture & Arts Authority, formally endorsed plans to develop and curate a dedicated Creative Community at d3.

The d3 Creative Community, which will cover around one million square feet within d3, will act as an incubator for emerging local designers and artists, as well as providing a natural home for art galleries and studios looking to engage directly with the region. The Creative Community is expected to evolve organically, with adaptability providing one of its key attributes, enabling year round use of the built environment to cater for regular changes in its occupancy.
