A PIONEER VISION OF URBAN PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT OF ABU DHABI'S SUPERBLOCKS

Abstract

This paper is important for a more extensive Exploration program in regards to the Metropolitan Recovery drive for the Superblocks as it gets from Abu Dhabi's Key "2030 Arrangement". It inspects their beginnings and development that swings between crude logic and explicit pioneer impacts. It additionally contends for an elective recovery approach that could be founded on this pioneer legacy and moreover apply base up participatory strategies to build up the city's shallow aggregate memory. To the help of that contention, a contextual investigation of a particular Superblock will be introduced. The examination of its morphological properties, their disadvantages and openings might fashion another recovery pathway. One that ascents from the singular plot to the metropolitan scale, effectively connects with the end clients and prompts more adaptable/less formal metropolitan activity. A potential achievement might work as a pilot for other Superblocks to follow and furthermore as a recovery worldview for other GCC urban communities to initiate their social, memorable and social capital.
