Based on the idea of integrating the traditional Arab city with a contemporary conception of modern urban living, this master plan is designed to be a mixed-use community that is compact, pedestrian-based, linked by transit and inspired by sustainable principles. The plan uses principles of traditional Arab urban design, such as self-shaded walkable streets, layers of privacy, selective use of native vegetation and the souk as an integrated pubic space. Modern ideas and necessities such as transit, underground parking and infrastructure have been layered onto this traditional understanding to create a new urban environment that is sustainable and integrates the best of the past and future.
