emphasized by the recent awarding of BDP, a UK based irm,
to masterplan the Salmiya district of Kuwait City, an existing
urbanized area of approximately 20 square kilometers. Many
municipalities and governmental agencies are reconsidering
their existing city plans and land-use, due to the fast expansion of
our cities, the changing lifestyles, and new social and economic
factors. The new plans are set to organize and regulate the city’s
growth and sustainability for generations to come.
Sustainable urban planning will be one of the major discussion points at
this month’s Global City Forum in Abu Dhabi. While, Ajman University
will host a similar event on the topic at the, “5th Ajman International
Urban Planning Conference; City Identity in the 21st Century: Challenges
and Opportunities”.

Also in April, Harvard University’s Belfer Centre Professor, Steve Caton
and Professor Nader Ardalan will be presenting a lecture on the “New
Arab Urbanism: The Challenge to Sustainability and Culture in the
Gulf”.
Each conference will undoubtedly raise the major challenges facing our
industry in the region and hopefully the ways we can overcome and set
in place an urban plan that will still be in place for years to come. Our
next issue will review the major talking points and issues, addressed
during these conferences.
