The government of Abu Dhabi plans to spend Dh2.5 billion toward building high-quality housing units to accommodate up to 180,000 workers, said the Executive Council in its latest policy agenda. "The government of the emirate has taken proactive steps to counter problems faced by some expatriate workers in relation to accommodation, such as overcrowding, poor sanitation, lack of individual privacy, lack of communal space, and lack of access to recreational facilities," said the document containing the policy agenda for 2007-08, according to a report of the UAE news agency "WAM."
