In the past two decades, sustainability has been a significant concern when
planning cities. As a consequence of development occurring in cities, its essence to
people is discounted. An example of this is Doha, Qatar’s capital, which has undergone
massive urban developments because of the post-WWII discovery and production of oil
and gas. Doha’s urban fabric has been transformed from a rational, people-based, and
environmentally adapted design into zoning and transportation dependent planning.
However, in the past few years, Doha has started to adopt sustainability-driven urban
planning policies. For example, development of the new city Lusail has legislation and
design regulations directed towards sustainable planning. Therefore, this research study
is focused on the urban planning of a neighbourhood in Al Wakra, Qatar. The focus is
on its relationship to the old city layout and the possible implementation of
sustainability principles in present-day development in the area. The study also develops
strategies and design that utilize sustainability principles. The study process includes a
literature review, data collection, detailed site analysis, and exploration of present and
historic plans for Al Wakra. Additionally, various alternatives that follow specific
strategies are generated to identify a desirable approach for the neighbourhood.
Furthermore, the strategies highlight actions needed to implement the development
concept. As a result, the study generates an ideal approach for the further development
of Al Wakra. Furthermore, the findings can act as a reference for similar developments
with a comparable climate, surroundings, environment, size, and population.
