Abstract: Abstract The vision for Dubai is to become the ‘Happiest City on Earth’, as outlined by HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice president and prime minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai. This vision is undoubtedly noble, with many technical, social, and psychological challenges. This chapter outlines the strategy and the mechanisms employed to realize this vision—along with the technological and psychological tools used to ensure success—describing some actions taken to overcome such challenges, and data showing progress toward this vision.
