Figure 23 A map showing the critical spots in al-Khalifa Street Area.
After the identification of the critical spots, and following the criteria to enhance the urban fabric of al-Khalifa Street Area, some plots were designated as open spaces. The remaining plots required a designated land-use. In order to designate such land use to the plots, a set of maps with specific themes were superimposed on the intervention map. The concentration of crafts and commercial activities in al-Khalifa Street Area gave indicated the spill over of these activities and pointed to the plots that could be used to complement them. The plots within the residential pockets in al-Khalifa Street Area were more suited for housing or service uses for the inhabitants. Before deciding on the kind of services needed in the area, a more in-depth study should be concluded.
