In the Darwendale Project which is a greenfield project, a permanent housing policy and scheme is to be established to accommodate the mine employees. The project had total four stages -Final stage to detail the concept master plan along with the detailed concept design for the infrastructure provision and architecture. The project aims at the larger welfare of the employees keeping the view that a better housed workforce includes greater labor stability and improved productivity. The project is expected to be highly beneficial to the working group, which cannot access a satisfactory housing solution due to the severe supply and affordability gaps affecting the housing sector in the region.
An Integrated and practical design approach has been adopted for building the architectural narrative with respect to environment, technology, socio-cultural aspect, functional and aesthetic determinants.
A key goal in locating the uses was to integrate them with the transport network to promote sustainable transport, to support the viability of the use, with schools and other community infrastructure in locations where they could be easily shared amongst all the neighborhoods. All the utilities which serve the larger population (town level) are placed near the highway for easy accessibility.
MASTER PLAN OF AL JAHRA WATERFRONT
The project is based on the opportunity to promote the development of Al Jahra waterfront as a key recreational area at city and neighbourhood level in line with Kuwait physical development plan.
The vision for Al-Jahra Waterfront envisages a holistic transformation of the 7.3 km2 water strip into a pole of leisure and touristic entertainment, while meeting the needs of both the local residents of the area and the economic partners of the project.
Vision and Objectives
Some of the potentials of the site
The project is expected to create an identity for the place adding to the existing features of the site. The main drivers of the adopted development approach are

Option 2 In this option, the chalets are kept as is. The recreational activities along the inner lagoon will still give it the characteristics of a tourist destination. However, the development will not benefit from an open sea frontage, thus giving it an introverted feel. All the maritime mobility that might connect the project along the sea will also have to be ignored in this case.

DUBAI CITY WALK
and Infrastructure
City Walk is a Mixed use development comprising Residential, Commercial, Retail and Leisure activities among other things, located within close proximity to Downtown Dubai. The design vision approach for City Walk is to create a walkable community with access to large private garden spaces within proximity to key urban spaces.
It will be developed in 3 phase. City Walk seeks to celebrate this legacy, offering a diverse range of activities for the Neighbourhoods in the heart of Dubai with hundreds of exclusive international retail offerings, upscale gourmet destinations, covetable residences, and plush hotels.
There were 3 volumes done for this project - Validation of concept Master plan & Preparation of Final Master Plan, Urban design Guidelines and Plot development sheets
‘A Neighbourhood that breathes’.
With City Walk already being recognized by its highend creative lifestyle destination, the vision for City Walk seeks to celebrate this legacy, offering a diverse range of activities for the Neighbourhoods in the heart of Dubai with hundreds of exclusive international retail offerings, upscale gourmet destinations, covetable residences, and plush hotels.
The project development strategy is based on the following factors.
Creation of Mixed Use Development.
The Development nature is Mid rise residential buildings.
Affordable apartments with acceptable standards.
Provision of Sufficient Social Services.
Opportunities
Neighbourhoods- City Walk can be thought of as a collection of ‘Neighbourhoods’ bounded by the main road network around its perimeter
Neighbourhood Cores-Each ‘Neighbourhood’ is activated by a central core, embodying the theme of the said area.
Walkable Neighbourhoods-Connecting the Neighbourhood cores are a series of key public realm routes which form the main pedestrian links across City Walk.
The structure plan documents the current status of the City Walk and outlines the key components, which include:
Medium and high density mixed use residential plots.
Leisure and recreational uses including club house.
Key vehicular routes; and Pedestrian circulation throughout the site with connection between the phases and the existing parts of City Walk.
Hospitality uses including a Hotel in Phase 3.
Establish a block structure which enhances the structure already established by the earlier phases
Respect and maximise key views across the development especially towards Burj Khalifa
The main Land Uses for Phases 3, 4.01 & 5 are predominantly Residential/Commercial plots. This is supported by Public and Recreational facilities as well as Parks and Open Spaces. Minor utilities are strategically located to address ease of connection to main roads. The plan sets out the key uses in City Walk including high density rise residential/commercial developments, Open spaces including central parks and between plots public realm, Low density residential towards the south of Phase 3.

Concept and Detailed Master Planning
NEOM intends to develop a 5,000 units village dedicated to the NEOM’s staff which is termed as NEOM Village A. The space program will consist of various types of residential units along with supporting facilities/amenities such as entertainment, sports, religious, retail and healthcare. The scope also includes complete infrastructure for the development area and a helipad. The location of sites underwent multiple iteration and assessment process to arrive at six probable site locations for NEOM Village A.
The project is envisaged to be developed into worldclass professional village with a smart and integrated development. The master plan is envisioned to offer quality of life, work and play as well a safe and healthy environment.
STRUCTURE PLAN STRATEGIES
The development has a prominent central core area that is surrounded by the different residential communities.
The major road network runs along the edges of the proposed core area district, comprising of community facilities, centralized sports facilities, educational institutions, mosques and retail shops and health centers.
Every residential community is characterized by block-level community open spaces and larger open spaces.The community facilities, opening up to a central open space make the core area more active and functional for the people.
Site Context Landuse Plan Residential Districts
The location of sites underwent multiple iteration and assessment process to arrive at six probable site locations for NEOM Village A.
Site E was finalized after multiple assessment.
Site E identified is about 3.3 sqkm and is located adjacent to the existing Sharma- Dubba Highway which provides existing regional level connectivity.
Site E is about 40 km away from the NEOM bay airport.
It is positioned about 3kms away from ‘The Line’ which is expected to be the development on which the NEOM Village A may depend for connectivity, employment etc.
Majority of the land use is residential with 43.77%. There are common community facilities and amenities at an overall site level as well as cluster level. Almost 17% allocated for roads and pathways, 12% for parking 13% for community facilities and 12% for open green/recreational spaces.
Residential landuse is further subdivided based on the typology of residences like-1 Bedroom + Study Area (2 rooms / 2 bath), 1 Bedroom Type A (1 bed / 1 bath) 1 Bedroom Type B Apartments (1 bed / 1 bath) and Studio Apartments (1 bed / 1 bath) Access Plan Open space Network Plan

Planning and Infrastructure
The Government of Gujarat has initiated a planning process for the realisation of Diamond Research and Mercantile (DREAM) City at Surat. This Smart City is projected on a 700 hectare site in the southern part of Surat, adjacent to the village of Khajod, the Outer Ring Road and close to the Dumas airport
4.1 Introduction
The DREAM City Master Plan is primarily a zoning plan in which main urban functions are located and regulated. This zoning plan will be explained in paragraph 2.
In the second place the Master Plan is an urban design plan in which public space and urban form get a specific shape and expression. tThis part of the Masterplan is explained in paragraph 3. The differences between this Draft Master Plan and the Conceptual Master Plans are explained in Appendix 9 and are summarised in the next page
Residential: perimeter blocks typology
Residential will be organised mainly in perimeter blocks; apartments will be organised one unit deep around a green and sheltered courtyard. The small to average sized perimeter blocks will have single unit walls, the large blocks can have double unit walls around a large courtyard with an access for the fire brigade. The perimeter blocks are closed to create a sheltered and quiet courtyard.
All apartments and entrances will be oriented to the street. There is no setback; the buildings facades are positioned on the border of the right of way. Parking will be organised under the building and under the courtyard. Apartments at ground level may be elevated half floor height (1,5 m) above street level, for parking under the building and courtyard under the condition that parking basement is

risk of congestion especially as staff travels in masse by car and when all these cars have to be stored in a concentrated parking facility. Increasing the FSI is attractive since it is an easy way to increase profits, but it will lead to congestion and a sub optimal quality of the city. Sectors / clusters –superblocks / buildings blocks The DREAM City project area is divided in 4 smaller sectors which are bordered and accessible from the main corridors and which are the basis for the Phasing Plan (see Chapter 9: Phasing Plan). The sectors are dived in clusters (residential) or ‘Superblocks’ (commercial) which represent the plots or units which will sold and developed by private parties. This large size is chosen deliberately to be able to guarantee that the private developments will be designed, built, managed and maintained as comprehensive and integrated units. The clusters and super-blocks contain the individual buildings or building blocks which can be recognised as the basic spatial unit in DREAM City.
In residential areas some plots are reserved for individual buildings in which special residential functions can be housed. These buildings will be organised in a more traditional way: they will stand as individual volumes on a
The same applies for public amenities in residential areas such as schools and community buildings; they will also be treated as individual buildings on a plot with setbacks at all sides. These plots will be fenced and will have green

The sectors are dived in clusters (residential) or ‘Superblocks’ (commercial) which represent the plots or units which will sold and developed by private parties. The clusters and super-blocks contain the individual buildings or building blocks which can be recognised as the basic spatial unit in DREAM City.
Super-blocks (commercial) and Clusters (residential) are created by the higher order road system and are roughly 500x 500. Where possible, the subdivisions within Super-blocks or Clusters should aim to be of the order of 120X120 metres
Diamond Bourse is vital for DREAM City as the first major settler; it will be formidable anchor for the DREAM City development and it will present itself as a symbol of Surat entrepreneurship and organisation talent. The building is of enormous proportions: the present programme comprises a building volume of 540,000 sqm reserved for offices and related facilities. It will be the largest of its kind in the world. A plot of 14,4 hectare is reserved for the Bourse.
In this Master Plan a volume proposal is integrated
answering the guidelines and principles of this Master Plan (see also Chapters 5 Transportation and 6 Urban Design Guidelines). Surat Diamond Bourse has made a design which deviates of these guidelines. Steering Committee can decide to accept the present design for Diamond Bourse and that Diamond Bourse will have its own set of guidelines and regulations as an exemption.
In the case Diamond Bourse will not be built on the chosen location it is advised to split the 14,4 hectare plot in two or three super-blocks.
This specific mixed use refers to a super block with a mix of institutional buildings and commercial buildings. The typology will be the same

Mixed use central retail and leisure typology
The mixed use areas concentrate in central urban areas. These areas will combine retail and leisure functions on ground floor and optional also on the second floor. Above, they will house offices or residential floors. Parking is available on the intermediate floors. Entrances for parking services and functions on higher floors are oriented on the street at the back. The entire front is oriented on the Green
Strip or Diamond Esplanade. The fronts together create a continuous shopping and leisure street at both sides of the Esplanade. An urban street at the front side gives access to the shops; this street with 2 lanes in one direction will provide for a wide sidewalk, bicycle track and (paid) parking places parallel to the street. The space between these blocks will be car free pedestrian areas and will be designed as spaces to stay and rest.
In a row of four blocks two separate blocks can be combined into one block, providing space for specific large scale shopping and leisure offers.
