New York, — At the UN General Assembly, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu announced one of his most ambitious projects yet—Ras Malé. Framed as a solution to the long-standing housing crisis in the Maldives, Muizzu laid out a vision of a modern, inclusive city that promises to be a game changer for the nation.

“Ras Malé will be an urban oasis,” Muizzu declared, emphasizing that the project aims to create a space where all citizens can fully participate in city life. The President stressed that inclusivity is at the heart of the development, promising modular housing and a state-of-the-art transportation system that’s accessible to everyone.

But this isn’t just about housing—Ras Malé will be built with climate resilience in mind, designed to withstand the very real environmental threats facing the Maldives. For Muizzu, it’s a project that speaks not only to the nation’s immediate needs but to its long-term survival in a rapidly changing world.

This is more than just another construction project; it’s Muizzu’s promise to the Maldivian people, a forward-looking solution to one of the country’s most pressing challenges. Ras Malé could become a symbol of what a modern, resilient, and inclusive Maldives looks like—a city for all.
