Msheireb is the world’s first sustainable downtown regeneration project, that will revive the old commercial district with a new architectural language that is modern, yet inspired by traditional Qatari heritage and architecture – its proportion, simplicity, space, light, layering, ornament and response to climate. Utilising the latest in sustainable technologies, Msheireb will adhere to the highest standards in green building. The strategic objective of the Msheireb project is to reverse the pattern of development in Doha, which has tended towards isolated land use, reliance on car transportation and energy hungry structures. Msheireb Downtown Doha will become a new social and civic hub in the city centre – a place where it is enjoyable to live, work, shop, visit, and spend time with family and friends.
Wadi Msheireb is an essential part of Qatari history, as it was an essential Downtown meeting point for the people of Qatar as a mean of transportation and hydration, and today it flourished within a modern society.
Here is where the Qatari forefathers gathered before us, and where we continue to meet till this day. Here is where the heritage of Doha is revived and celebrated, and where the community grows towards an ambitious future.
