Msheireb Downtown Doha, Qatar

Msheireb Downtown Doha is the first urban area designed to be smart and sustainable from the ground up, with the highest concentration of LEED Gold and Platinum-certified buildings anywhere in the world. The primary goal here was to create five communities that would give residents the opportunity to return to the heart of the capital to live, work and enjoy their leisure time.

The project provided the opportunity to achieve the highest level of environmental performance, from state-of-the-art insulation to energy recovery from incoming air and a high-efficiency district cooling plant that together reduce typical energy consumption levels by 30%. The savings on water consumption equate to 70% of the city’s annual volume. A tram powered by renewable energy and a well-designed network of pedestrian walkways complete this project to revitalise the heart of Doha.
