Analyzing Al Ghubra
The neighbourhood we have chosen to explore has many interesting qualities, such as pedestrian traffic; the feeling of community and livelihood around the neighbourhood, everyone seemed to know each other. Most people (men, women and children) were outside during the evening time, either at the park, the shop, or just simply walking around. Accessibility to important places that aid daily life is quite high, most things are close to their homes. Another plus is that the highway roads do not intersect into the neighbour- hood, disturbance of the busy city cars is far away from the residences. However, we noticed the safety hazards; limited parking spaces surrounding the houses. Many cars were scattered randomly along the roads, creating a crowded environment. Furthermore, the parking spaces that were available in front of the houses were way too small and too close to the roads, cutting off road space. As we were walking, we noticed how fast the cars were passing by, showcasing that there were not enough speed bumps and just 1 zebra crossing. The most dangerous concern was the electricity power distribution box that was located right in front of a school, with no special fencing whatsoever and an easily opened gate. A beautiful park is stationed in the middle of the neighbourhood; however, it also had no fencing and was right next to the road, entailing inju- ries and mishaps due to kids running around with no pro- tection.

of Mosque
Scale 1:300
Our 2 main focuses are the park and commercial area around the mosque. We established a clear path between the two areas to illustrate our main design which allows pedestrain access. We did this by providing zebra crossings in specific areas and planting trees along the walkway. The circular shape used in the diagrams is influenced by the parks pathway to create a continous pattern. Our main challenge was dealing with the narrow spaces in our area such as the alleways, pavements and roads. We attempted to strategically place car parkings, walkways and services which resulted in a safer walking enviorment for the pedestrains.

Meeting The Community
The workshop was an intereting learning expierence. The citizens of the neighrbourhood were very intrigued by what we were trying to achieve in improving the area that they lived in and had a lot of input to offer about certain attributes to change in their neighbourhood. Both males and females were very enthusiastic to participate in the workshops. They interjected throughout the presentations quite a lot and had many ideas on improving their neoughbourhood. They were most concerened about the placement and interven- tation of their own homes and keeping their children safe.

Concept Development By using the elevated abandoned old railway my plan is to design and create a green linear space that connects the two sides of the neighbourhood, it would provide a meeting points for people to interact and relax. The space will invite and attract pedestrian into the area that is elevated and away from the road hence it will make them feel safe by prioritizing pedestrian. The elevated line will serve as the main activity space for locals, which will draw people to come to this destination and set this area a centre for interaction. To effectively use the in-between space of the building (wasteland) that is adjacent to the old railway, therefore my idea is to use nature to promote a solution for the environmental problem in the area such as flooding by applying raingarden system, urban farming and green walls. For the Canal, the development of the area will consist of bike path, urban farming and promenade. Urban farming aims to increase local production and logistics activities, so it encourages local economic and regional food security. Integrate the existing bicycling route with a new one that is connected to the main parts of the area. Upgrade the existing pedestrian infrastructure and take back unnecessary parking. By improving the Public space, it will affect the development of the area.
