Design Brief

Due to the poor urban planning of the city, Kuwait City is becoming unliveable. The proposal aims to envision the Kuwait of tomorrow. It is time to imagine the possibilities of a gateway to a city that has excellent infrastructure, high-quality healthcare, ease of mobility, a sustainable and diversified economy, a living environment, and host green spaces for citizens to dream in and become the creative human capital that will bring unparalleled global positioning for Kuwait City.

The vision includes a place where citizens can reach their destinations within a short walk, on a bike, or by using a multitude of public services like buses and rentable scooters. It allows people to maneuver in the city by engaging with a regulated, sustainable infrastructure. Innovative urban transportation models like water taxis and cable cars can be utilized on our unique waterfront, creating new connections to cross the city while also reconnecting to our past connection to the sea- refer to the master plan.

The strategy is to create a homogeneous social infrastructure that acts as a spatial transition for the city. The overall project will be realized in three phases, beginning with a pilot project in phase one.

The pilot project consists of elements that can be repeated for common problems, such as the lack of urban furniture, crosswalk shading devices, planting, etc. It becomes a prototype that can be reused and reshaped according to the specific problem at hand.
