阿联酋迪拜海滨城市总体规划 2009 年05 月07 日来源：网络 WATERFRONT CITY, UAE, DUBAI, 2008 New city for 1.5 million new inhabitants on the border of Dubai and Abu Dhabi Waterfront City is a square island measuring 1310 m x 1310 m at its outset surrounded by an artificial body of water created by the removal of existing ground allowing the sea water to enter. Surrounding this body of water there are four more areas which form part of the total that is considered the Waterfront City. Starting on the North side and moving clockwise these areas are Madinat Al Soor, the Boulevard, the Marina and the Resorts. The island and the four areas surrounding it form 5 separate precincts that all have their own distinct character. The result is a city centre that is diverse in the urban conditions that it provides. Island The island is the defining element of the design of Waterfront City. A square piece of city surrounded by water on all sides not only stands out as an icon, it allows for a rational and efficient design approach for what is perhaps one of the most complex design tasks conceivable. In square meters the amount of residential program is equal to the amount of office program. This means that there are a lot more people working on the island than people living there but theoretically it also means that there are as many buildings occupied at day and at night. This guarantees that the city remains lively 24 hours a day. With this balance between office and residential program there will be a substantial amount of people both living and working on the island therefore reducing the overal need for roads and increasing the amount of pedestrian movement. Boulevard Around the Southern and Eastern edges of Waterfront City’s edges runs a ring road that deflects not bound for the island around it. This road is lined by high rise office and residential building overlooking the water towards the island. These high rises can be accessed from a secondary road known as the boulevard road. Driving along the boulevard road offers a dynamic view onto three sides of the island. Between the road and the waterfront is Waterfront City’s largest public park; the Boulevard Park. With its organic lines and landscape the Boulevard Park offers a contrast to the rest of Waterfronts City’s rational, man made design. Everywhere else in Waterfront City the edges to the water are hard quay walls but in the Boulevard the water edge is soft with the Landscape sliding into the water. The design for the Boulevard Park exploits the possibilities of this soft transition from land to water; at times there is a beach, at times there are mangroves and on several occasions a pier reaches out over the water. Along these piers are various buildings that are surrounded by water on all sides. The piers also make landings for water taxi’s making it possible to access the Boulevard by boat. Although the Boulevard Park is public there are private plots inside of it. These plots find themselves in the unique condition of being surrounded on all sides by park and having a view towards the water and the island. The Boulevard provides a mix of different use and density. It ranges from office, residential, and hotel towers to mid-rise culture, retail, and civic amenities to low-rise retail and restaurants. Additionally, the Boulevard contains a large plot that can be used to build stadium or a large cultural institution. Madinat Al Soor Madinat Al Soor is both a popular destination and a unique place to live in. Designed to provide for a traditional Arabic setting, the masterplan attempts to revitalize the valuable qualities of historical settlements without forgetting the immediate presence of one of Dubai’s most prestigious urban centres. The character of a vibrant community is as sought after as the creation of a stimulating environment. In its intricate composition of built form, deriving directly from the Arabic vernacular, privacy is embraced while public interaction is encouraged. The name Al Soor, The Wall, originates from the development’s most prominent structure: a large inhabited wall element on the western tip of the site. The rich urban fabric of building clusters and irregular street and pedestrian path patterns integrates the wall with the other significant moments in this small town. It is only a short walk away from the beachfront resorts, the intrinsic town souks, the serene canal sides and the spectacular waterfront walks with the most privileged views of the two nearby iconic buildings, The Spiral and The Sphere. It is the concentration of all these particular places so close to each other that distinguishes Madinat Al Soor as one of the most attractive places to visit in this region of Dubai. Resort This area is located to the North West of the development, overlooking both: the gulf to the North and the island to the South. It is sought to define a resort destination within the CBD. It will provide th。
