Retail, entertainment and dining are at the forefront in this outdoor waterfront quarter. The plan is largely public at the ground floor, with residential usage on the upper levels. Buildings are tightly packed, assuming the form of a ‘modern souq’. This, together with extensive landscaping and water features, sees tradition and technology combined into a shaded precinct for year-round enjoyment. This is not only a more sustainable way to plan cities, but also regenerative.
