SPONSORED BY THE FUTURE OF PROJECT DELIVERY TECHNOLOGY TRENDS SHAPING CONSTRUCTION AND ENGINEERING IN THE MIDDLE EAST NOVEMBER 2020 The Future of Project Delivery 1 2 The Future of Project Delivery PREFACE TRANSITION POINT he coming years will see a transformation in the way that projects are delivered in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) as pro- T ject sponsors reshape their plans to reflect the changing social and economic needs of the region. In a market that is seeing change across a wide range of areas, includ- ing a slowdown in real estate demand, localisation of content, and more stringent welfare requirements in response to Covid-19, the two biggest factors that are forcing project owners to adapt their development plans are climate change, and the long-term slowdown in demand for oil. The drive to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions to hit the targets set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement is seeing govern- ments demanding the decarbonisation of projects through a greener approach to building and infrastructure design, construction and delivery. Meanwhile, project clients are seeking greater social and economic val- ue from their project investments, as the Covid-19 pandemic and lower oil prices squeeze balance sheets. Private sector real estate investors and developers are delaying or downsizing their investment plans in response to declining demand for many asset classes, while governments are seeking to reduce their capital spending commitments through alternative delivery mechanisms such as public-private partnerships (PPP), on critical infrastructure projects The key to achieving these objectives is the digital transformation of construction, engineering and operation of projects in the region. A call for greater use of advanced building information modelling (BIM) by project clients is forcing designers, contractors, suppliers and end-user operators to integrate information through cloud-based digital twins. The earlier engagement of downstream contractors, suppliers and operators in design that this enables will reduce on site clashes and late-stage varia- tions that lead to delays and disputes. The drive to reduce mistakes and improve safety will see increasing adoption of modular construction techniques, while the development of sensor technology in combination with artificial intelligence will enable real time monitoring of assets during construction and operation, allow- ing for more efficient utilisation of the asset, more efficient maintenance procedures, and optimisation of services. With some $3.5tn of major projects planned across the Mena region, the pipeline of future projects is bigger than the $3.1tn combined value of all of the project contracts awarded in the region since 2004. So the potential for the region’s incredible growth story to continue is immense. However, unlocking that opportunity depends entirely on the ability of the region’s projects industry to deliver its digital transformation.

    Planning Abu Dhabi: From Arish Village to a Global, Sustainable, Arab Capital City By Alamira Reem Bani Hashim A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Elizabeth S. Macdonald, Chair Professor Michael Southworth Professor Greig Crysler Summer 2015 © Alamira Reem Bani Hashim Abstract Planning Abu Dhabi: From Arish Village to a Global, Sustainable Arab Capital City by Alamira Reem Bani Hashim Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Elizabeth S. Macdonald, Chair The overarching objective of this research project is to explore and document the urban history of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It is organized as a comparative study of urban planning and design processes in Abu Dhabi during three major periods of the city’s development following the discovery of oil: (1) 1960-1966: Sheikh Shakhbut Bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s rule (2) 1966-2004: Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s rule; and (3) 2004-2013: Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s rule. The intention of this study is to go beyond a typical historical narrative of sleepy village-turned-metropolis, to compare and contrast the different visions of each ruler and his approach to development; to investigate the role and influence of a complex network of actors, including planning institutions, architects, developers, construction companies and various government agencies; to examine the emergence and use of comprehensive development plans and the policies and values underlying them; as well as to understand the decision-making processes and design philosophies informing urban planning, in relation to the political and economic context of each period.

In the light of the results of the Stockholm Conference, the United t Nations General Assembly decided to establish the United Nations Environment Programme (IMP) to "serve as a focal point for environmental action and co-ordination within the United Nations system" (General Assembly resoltuion (XXVII) of 15 December 1972). The organizations of the United Nations system were invited "to adopt the measures that may be required to undertake concerted and co-ordinated programmes with regard to international environmental problems", and the "intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations that have an interest in the field of the environment" were also invited "to lend their full support and collaboration to the United Nations with a view to achieving the largest possible degree of co-operation and co-ordination". Subsequently, the Governing Council of UMEP chose "Oceans" as one of the priority areas in which it mldfocus efforts to fulfill its catalytic and co-ordinating role. The Regional Seas Programne was initiated by UNEP in 1974. Since then the Governing Council of UNEP has repeatedly endorsed a regional approach to the control of marine pollution and the management of marine and coastal resources and has requested the development of regional action plans .
