In this booklet we present the results of an ongoing research on the opportunity to implement polycentric, transit-oriented urban development in Qatar.
In the first part of the booklet we show the current urban development scenario in Doha and Qatar while in the second part we highlight problems and opportunities of the current scenario.
In the third part we propose alternative scenarios (i.e. polycentric development) to compensate the current urban problems.
In the fourth and fifth part we introduce the concept of transit oriented development (TOD) and analyse case studies abroad.
Building upon the previous two sections, in part six we highlight TOD factors for success.
In part seven we deploy TOD and polycentric development principles to design a new-town development in Qatar.
In part eight we present our conclusions and recommendations.
