Project/Location Halcrow with John Robinson as master planner and urban designer prepared a land use plan and development guidelines for a high quality mixed use waterfront development including a central business district, hotel, conference and commercial centre, town houses, apartments and water park. The site is located in Sulaibikat Bay, west of Kuwait City. |

Project Description The goals and objectives of the project were to: 1. Create a unique urban image 2. Maximise a profit potential 3. Provide a state of the art infrastructure base While the site has many strengths such as a waterfront setting, proximity to Kuwait international airport and it's sheer size offering an opportunity to create an entirely new townscape image, the area has many constraints that need to be overcome including pollution in the bay. The analysis of goals, objectives and site opportunities led to the development of the design concept. The land use plan is based on a modular plot subdivision system, derived from a 100 metre grid. This is a simple structure providing maximum flexibility in terms of land uses and layout options. |
