Popis projektu

The project must be built in the areas of the future expansion of Zabid city, due to the presence of a large proportion of people with limited (low) income and they are among the most in need of such projects because of another reason there is a population density in the old city of Zabid, which resulted in the construction of random homes that threaten the beauty and heritage of the historical region, as well as It, has historical significance and has a distinct and ancient architectural character. The northeastern site of Zabid was chosen and the reasons for choosing this site were based on the recommendations of the General Authority for the Preservation of Historic Buildings. These areas are areas for the future expansion of the city of Zabid and were divided into three Zones D4 D5 D6 and each zone has specific requirements For this city. The project is located in Yemen Zabid city. Why did I choose this location? The site of the project was chosen in the east of the road leading to the (Hais) area, and this site includes the three zones so that there is an opportunity to apply all the parameters that were stipulated by the authority for the region.

Alhaceeb City (sustainable city in Yemen Zabid

The "Alhaceeb City" project presents a highly commendable and contextually sensitive urban vision that thoughtfully addresses the challenges of heritage preservation, social equity, and sustainable growth in Zabid. By relocating low-income populations into a new city that echoes the spirit, materiality, and scale of the historic core, the proposal strikes a delicate balance between cultural continuity and necessary urban expansion. The division into three zones following conservation guidelines demonstrates strategic urban planning and ensures long-term protection of the old city. The project's integration of environmental, economic, and social sustainability pillars reflects a comprehensive approach to resilient urbanism. To further enrich the design, more detailed articulation of mobility strategies and public realm activation could enhance everyday livability. Overall, this project offers an inspiring model for heritage-sensitive, community-centered development.
