Kuwait wants to draw in investment and promote sustainable urban development
Minister of State for Municipal Affairs and Minister of State for Housing Affairs, Abdullatif Al-Mishari, underscored Kuwait’s commitment to sustainable urban development and attracting both developers and investors to the real estate and construction sectors.
Speaking during the Kuwait Build Summit 2025, Al-Mishari emphasized that the country’s political leadership is steering national housing projects with a focus on quality, innovation, and inclusivity. These efforts aim to provide sustainable housing solutions, especially for those most in need.
The minister noted that government agencies are actively strengthening public-private partnerships and embracing modern technologies to drive progress in urban planning and construction. These steps align with Kuwait’s broader goals of applying international best practices in development and improving execution frameworks for future housing initiatives.
“Real estate development is fundamental to sustainable housing care,” Al-Mishari stated. “It forms the backbone of safe, integrated, and forward-looking urban communities.”
Al-Mishari announced the implementation of new mechanisms that empower private real estate developers to actively participate in Kuwait’s development value chain. These frameworks are designed to promote innovation, encourage the exchange of expertise, and drive efficient execution of strategic projects.
The minister commended the Kuwait Build Summit for serving as a strategic platform that unites stakeholders from various sectors. He said the event encourages knowledge-sharing and fosters regional and international cooperation in construction, real estate development, and urban planning
