Retrieved on: 25 July 2016 URBAN RECONFIGURATION AND REVITALISATION: PUBLIC MEGA PROJECTS IN DOHA'S HISTORIC CENTRE Florian Wiedmann, Velina Mirincheva and Ashraf M. Salama Abstract This paper aims to offers an assessment of the current transformation process of Doha's historic centre, which has become a major focus of public development strategies. While the historic centre was neglected during most of the sec- ond half of the 20th century, recent public initiatives have been leading to new urban morphologies and typologies. In addition to the redevelopment of the historic market and the investments in museums, a large scale mixed use devel- opment, known as Msheireb project, has been launched, which will replace an entire district. The objective of this paper is therefore to clarify how these public initiatives are modifying existing urban structures and to which extent this spatial reconfiguration contributes to major revitalisation objectives, such as diversity, consolidation and identity. The method- ologies include a GIS survey to analyse the shift in urban densities, land uses and typologies as well as a Space Syntax study assessing the various levels of spatial integration in the case of the Msheireb project.

  • Built Form of the Souq Waqif in Doha and User's Social Engagement
    American Journal of Sociological Research 2015, 5(3): 73-88 DOI: 10.5923/j.sociology.20150503.03 Built Form of the Souq Waqif in Doha and User’s Social Engagement Sara Ibrahim Nafi’, Deema Anwar Alattar, Raffaello Furlan* College of Engineering Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, Qatar University, Doha, Qatar Abstract The Souq Waqif is located in the heart of the old downtown of Doha, the capital of the State of Qatar. The Souq Waqif is one of the most important heritage sites in the country. Over the years this market became abounded until his highness Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifah al Thani and his wife, her highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, recognized the importance of protecting and restoring this heritage site by funding the heritage restoration project of the Souq Waqif. It’s a wide-open outdoor space with air-conditioned shops. The users spend most of their time in the outdoor space where most social activates take place. This research study explores how the urban form of the Souq Waqif contributes to the formation of social interactions, and how its urban form can be implemented. The key factor of this research study is the impact of the urban morphology on the thermal comfort of the users in the hot-arid climate of Qatar. Other controlling factors in this process will be explored as well. The research question is answered by adopting both qualitative and quantitative methods. The research study is developed through three steps: (A) theoretical study, (B) analytical and applied study, and (3) interviews.

Salama PhD &2 Simona Azzali MSc Design Professor and Head, Department of Architecture, University of PhD Candidate, Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, Qatar Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK University, Doha, Qatar 1 2 With intensive emerging and transforming urban spaces and centres, the city of Doha is experiencing continual rapid growth. However, minor attention has been paid to important growth aspects. This paper examines functional, social and perceptual attributes of three urban open spaces in the city by developing and implementing a walking tour assessment procedure composed of checklists and a scoring system. Results reveal important outcomes including the absence of landscape features and a dearth of green spaces or appropriate outdoor furniture, the absence of adequate shaded areas and shading devices and parasols and a lack of children’s facilities or a specially designated area for children among other missing elements. These represent shortcomings that impede the maximum efficient and effective utilisation of such spaces. The paper suggests that opportunities to concretise and fulfil people’s needs in open spaces should be underscored by urban planners, architects and policy-makers in a multicultural rapidly growing city. 1. Introduction most important considerations that would determine such a A substantial development of new urban or transformed areas future.
