Urban design is the canvas on which cities and communities are built. The more meaningful the connections that are ingrained into a city’s design, the more sustainable and resilient the population is.

By leveraging nature-based solutions, artificial intelligence (AI), social data and community engagement, we will develop a baseline to understand how the masterplan of Qatar Foundation’s Education City is used by the community. This will help to identify and address gaps, and highlight opportunities to improve precinct performance and social connection, supporting our ambition to connect community members and entities.
