Leading UAE sustainability pioneer Beeah has unveiled the masterplan for its mega development – Khalid Bin Sultan City – in Sharjah.
Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), a renowned British architecture and design firm, Khalid Bin Sultan City is envisioned as a year-round living environment – a place where people of all ages can live and work surrounded by nature.
Anchored by four guiding principles – sustainability, smart technology, culture and people – ZHA’s design continues the philosophies embedded with the architecture of the renowned headquarters building, drawing inspiration from the fluid forms of wind-swept desert dunes to define a multi-centred urban network with seven distinct residential neighbourhoods interconnected by sheltered walkways and vibrant streetscapes.
Each neighbourhood is organised around a central public space, strategically placed within a five-minute walking distance from one another. These civic plazas offer public facilities and a range of local amenities that act as vital social and wellbeing anchors, helping to foster a strong sense of community, said the statement.
