Dubai, UAE - Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council, has announced the creation of a Unified Registry of the Population of the Emirate of Dubai. This initiative aims to centralize population data in a comprehensive, real-time database managed by the Dubai Data and Statistics Corporation.
