Description
The walled city of Kuwait, once the home of numerous aspects of Kuwaiti civil life, was mostly eradicated to make way for modernisation. Large roads now cut through its history, subdividing the city fabric into fragmented parcels, with remnants of the past scattered in between. How can we rethink urban planning on the basic human need for transportation, walkability, and accessibility rather than capitalistoriented models of urban development?
The interconnectivity of the city’s historic fabric is revisited through various scales of urban interventions, resulting in a new network of connectivity that forms multiple modes of transportation culminating on the human scale.
