REINVIGORATING SPACES THE PROJECT IS LOCATED IN RASHIDIYA , DUBAI , UAE. AL RASHIDIYA IS A RESIDENTIAL SUBURB IN DUBAI. IT IS ONE OF THE FEW PLACES WHERE
EMIRATIS STARTED LIVING AROUND THE 1970S , BEFORE DUBAI HAD STARTED TO GROW. TODAY IT IS ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE HUBS DUE
URBAN DESIGN SEM 7 TO THE NEARBY METRO STATION ACTIVITY. GRADUALLY , THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN EXPAT POPULATION AND A DECREASE OF EMIR-
GROUP PROJECT ATE FAMILIES. THE PROJECT AIMS TO ENHANCE THE LIVABILITY OF THAT AREA. WHILE FOCUSING ON STRATEGIES WHICH CATER TO BOTH THE
EXPATS AND LOCALS.

Character of the neighbourhood

Existing paths include 2 lane roads which are well
connected to universities and a petrol station.
Finding a person walking outside is rare , beacuse
of the weather and the desert climate , so the
surrounding areas are empty , there are no bike
passageways or major pedestrain space . 8.5 km
