Initiative Description

The third initiative of the sustainable city project implies the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, which includes the development of both physical and mental health with the help of such practices as yoga, meditation, exercises in gyms (with cardio stimulation), and various field trips (Dam et al. 2017, p. 40). It is necessary to mention that a healthy and wise community is one of the most essential components of any modern sustainable city, which supports the proposed project’s objectives. The discussed initiative will reduce the rate of obese children in Dubai as they will have more resources and knowledge to maintain fit.

SHORT TERM (quick wins)	People’s mentality regarding their lifestyles will change Parents will be more attentive to different health issues of their children The population of Dubai will become more responsible for its health

LONG TERM (20 years)	The longevity rate in Dubai will increase The rate of obese children will decrease There will be no need for health promotion as it will be regarded as something common.

Contribution to Sustainable City

As mentioned previously, the promotion of a healthy lifestyle makes Dubai a sustainable city because the practices of yoga, meditation, and other exercises make its younger generations fit and wise. Not only do active games make children healthier, but they also enrich their brains with oxygen, which makes them work faster, better, and longer. Moreover, the city will never face a demographic crisis if all the suggested actions will be popular among local citizens.

INPUT	PROCESS	OUTPUT	OUTCOME
Knowledge Financial means	Promoting the use of healthy lifestyles and that of natural and nutritious food Organization of gyms, yoga centers, and other facilities aimed at making the population healthy.	Increased interest in the culture of health Many citizens start doing sports and become active	Young generations become healthier The city of Dubai becomes one of the most popular health and sports centers in the world.

To educate the public about what the third initiative can do, it would be necessary to show people that minor investments (as displayed in the table above) lead to major outcomes. The population of Dubai must know that health is one of the most important factors that must be inherent in a modern developed city (Lewis 2015, p. 473). As many individuals have sedentary lifestyles today, it is crucial to eat nutritious and fresh meals, do physical exercises, and so on.

Implementation of the Initiative

Promotion of healthy activities in schools
Organization of health centers (with equipment for yoga, meditation, and light weights) for children
Development of certain health activities into people’s habits
Collaboration with business centers, kindergartens, schools, gyms, and other institutions to attract more people to maintain a healthy lifestyle

TIME	PLAN/ACTION	STAKEHOLDERS & THEIR CONTRIBUTION
YEAR 1	Promotion of health activities at schools (100,000 dirhams)	School principals will allow the project’s participants to work with their children (Evans et al. 2015, p. 35)

To help Dubai Municipality to announce the success of the discussed project, it is necessary to make a publication on the future online source of the project and gather a meeting of all its stakeholders to summarize the acquired goals, along with other results and statistics.
