The term ‘Transit-Oriented Development’ or TOD was firstly used by the American planner Peter Calthorpe in 1993. To address the urban sprawling caused by extensive car use and the disappearance of historical community centers, the strategy for TOD is based on planning land use on a regional scale integrated to public transport systems. TOD became part of the movement known broadly as ‘new urbanism’. Lately, Doha faced rapid growth in social, economic, and built environmental aspects that shaped its current and future urban planning. TOD is seen as an efficient and energetic approach to resolve the existing challenges in urban planning of the city through a sustainable strategy in urban developmental planning.

  • I Principali Progetti Ferroviari in Qatar
    PRINCIPALI PROGETTI FERROVIARI IN QATAR Newsletter n. 5 - Ed. 2ª - Marzo 2019 a MESSAGGIO DEL DIRETTORE DELL'AGENZIA ICE DI DOHA Il desiderio di crescita e di sviluppo del dinamico Emirato del Qatar sta determinando un radicale cambiamento ed una visionaria trasformazione delle principali reti viarie di Doha e di tutto il Paese. Qatar Rail ne e' uno dei principali attori con l'importante responsabilita' di creare, mantenere e sviluppare le vie ferroviarie piu' moderne all'interno del Paese. Metropolitana e linee tramviarie costituiscono e rappresenteranno sempre di piu' la spina dorsale del moderno Emirato del Qatar. Tutto nel rispetto delle quattro direttrici fondamentali di sviluppo dettate dall'Emiro Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani: economico, ambientale, sociale, umano e, sopratutto, “sostenibile”. L'eco-sostenibilita' rappresenta il plus della nuova viabilita' di Doha e di tutto il Paese, alla quale Qatar Rail sta dedicando ogni suo sforzo per il raggiungimento di obiettivi straordinari attraverso il contributo fondamentale di aziende straniere anche italiane, che stanno ridisegnando il profilo di un Paese all'avanguardia per impegno e dedizione profusi nel perseguimento di obiettivi di crescita e di sviluppo sostenibili. Giosafat Riganò Direttore Agenzia ICE Doha Principali Progetti Ferroviari In Qatar 2 QATAR RAIL Come tutte le grandi opere infrastrutturali in Qatar, la progettazione di una rete ferroviaria è parte della Qatar National Vision (QNV) 2030, la quale basa lo sviluppo dell’intero Paese su 4 pilastri principali: economico, ambientale, umano e sociale. Grazie alle vaste ramificazioni del progetto, la rete ferroviaria è in grado di contribuire a tutti e quattro i fattori attraverso il potenziamento di mezzi di trasporto ecologici, l’utilizzo di forza lavoro locale e lo sviluppo di programmi di coinvolgimento della comunità.

Als Betreuer waren Prof. Dr. Norbert Vogt, Friedrich Levin und Sven Manthey dabei. Die Anreise erfolgte problemlos mit der Airline Etihad über Abu Dhabi. Der Service und die Verpflegung waren ausgezeichnet. Von Abu Dhabi, das uns mit einem prunkvollen Flughafen einen ersten Eindruck von der ara- bischen Welt ermöglichte, ging es mit einem einstündigen Flug weiter zum neu eröffneten Flughafen von Doha, der mit seiner Lage auf einer künstlich aufgeschütteten Landzunge gleich einen Vorgeschmack auf die zahlreichen Baustellen im Zielland bot. Der Transfer zum Hotel Ramada Encore erfolgte im total ausgenutzten Bus bzw. Taxi, womit wir nach 13-stündiger Reise um 23.30 Uhr erschöpft ankamen. Nach der Zimmereinteilung haben einige noch den Pool zum Entspannen getestet, viele andere gingen direkt ins Bett.
