The world’s most affluent are rethinking what it means to live well. The pandemic shifted
priorities. Time at home became time to reflect on space, health, community, and access
to nature. Today, these lifestyle values sit at the heart of purchasing decisions.
High-net-worth families choose to relocate for a range of reasons, including:
• Safety and security
• Financial concerns
• Taxes
• Retirement
• Work and business opportunities
• Lifestyle factors, including climate, and scenery
• Schooling and education opportunities
• Healthcare
• Standard of living
Decisions are no longer just about wealth preservation or tax efficiency, but about living
with purpose, security, and joy. Governments are responding. Dubai’s “2040 Urban
Master Plan” will double green space, reduce car dependence, promote walkable
communities, cycling, and public transport. Shaded walkways and community hubs are
being woven into major redevelopments, turning the city into a showcase of lifestyledriven urban design.
