  • The Case of Doha, Qatar
    Mapping the Growth of an Arabian Gulf Town: the case of Doha, Qatar Part I. The Growth of Doha: Historical and Demographic Framework Introduction In this paper we use GIS to anatomize Doha, from the 1820s to the late 1950s, as a case study of an Arab town, an Islamic town, and a historic Arabian Gulf town. We use the first two terms advisedly, drawing attention to the contrast between the ubiquitous use of these terms versus the almost complete lack of detailed studies of such towns outside North Africa and Syria which might enable a viable definition to be formulated in terms of architecture, layout and spatial syntax. In this paper we intend to begin to provide such data. We do not seek to deny the existence of similarities and structuring principles that cross-cut THE towns and cities of the Arab and Islamic world, but rather to test the concepts, widen the dataset and extend the geographical range of such urban studies, thereby improving our understanding of them. Doha was founded as a pearl fishing town in the early 19th century, flourished during a boom in pearling revenues in the late 19th and early 20th century, and, after a period of economic decline following the collapse of the pearling industry in the 1920s, rapidly expanded and modernized in response to an influx of oil revenues beginning in 1950 (Othman, 1984; Graham, 1978: 255).1 As such it typifies the experience of nearly all Gulf towns, the vast majority of which were also founded in the 18th or early 19th century as pearl fishing settlements, and which experienced the same trajectory of growth, decline and oil-fuelled expansion (Carter 2012: 115-124, 161-169, 275-277).2 Doha is the subject of a multidisciplinary study (The Origins of Doha and Qatar Project), and this paper comprises the first output of this work, which was made possible by NPRP grant no.

  • Cultural Traditions and Architectural Form of Houses Built by Italian Migrants in Post Wwii Brisbane, Australia
    International Journal of Architectural Research Raffaello Furlan, Mooza Almohannadi LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT AND LAND USE IN QATAR: AN INTEGRATED PLANNING STRATEGY FOR AL-QASSAR’S TOD Raffaello Furlan* and Mooza AlMohannadi Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, Qatar University, Doha, State of Qatar *Corresponding Author’s email address: [email protected] Abstract The State of Qatar is presently facing the development of major transport infrastructure, to be finalized (A) by 2022 for the planned FIFA World Cup and (B) by 2030, as envisioned by the comprehensive national development planning strategy, also named Qatar National Vision (QNV-2030). The under-development metro system foresees the construction of four main lines. In addition, Doha, the capital city of the State of Qatar, is experiencing the progress of (1) prestigious mega projects and (2) several transit villages around the major metro stations. These projects are the manifestation of the deliberate attempt of Qatar to establish Doha as the service, economic and cultural hub of Middle East. Currently, traffic is considered a major concern: ‘Park-and-Ride’ facilities along train stations may reduce the general amount of vehicles on the road network and provide a ‘stress-free’ passenger experience when transitioning to and from the new Doha Metro System. Therefore, one of major challenges for urban planners is guaranteeing that all metro-stations and facilities (A) are fully integrated within the urban context of their surroundings and (B) provide multi modal transportation facilities. This urban planning strategy aims at reducing traffic through the design of compacted, mixed used transit villages, or Transit Oriented Developments (TODs).
