the urban and landscape strategy responds to the Kuwait Funds for Advanced Sciences vision of creating an innovative model in urban planning in the gulf. the main premise of reworking the circulation network is the optimization of open shared public spaces and providing favorable conditions for a collective life in the outdoors.

by treating the landscape as a platform for performative soft infrastructure, sustainable and resilient to climate change, the urban and landscape concept rotates around 3 main pillars; socio-economic infrastructure, green infrastructure, and smart mobility and connectivity.
