OMA has been announced as master-planners for 'airport city', a new 10 sqkm development where 200,000 people
will live and work, connecting the new hamad international airport with the city. located adjacent to doha - the capital
of qatar, the masterplan will consist of a series of four circular districts along a spine parallel to the HIA runways -
intended to create a strong visual identity and districts with unique identities. phase one of the 30-year masterplan,
will link air-side and land-side developments for business, logistics, retail, hotels, and residences - which will aim to
be complete in time for the 2022 FIFA world cup.

 

'we are delighted and honoured to participate in the exciting growth of doha, in a project that is perhaps the first serious effort
anywhere in the world to interface between an international airport and the city it serves'.
