Programme

Leading countries in the Persian Gulf are competing in the development and implementation of national development programmes. The focus is on diversifying government strategies through accelerated industrialization based on large-scale tourism and urban infrastructure projects. For example, according to a recent statement by the Sultanate of Oman, the country will invest over USD 31 billion to expand its national hospitality sector. In Saudi Arabia, within the USD 500 billion Neom gigaproject, the creation of a luxury marine tourism resort – Sindalah Island in the Red Sea – is set to begin this year. Against this backdrop, advanced trends in modern urban planning and approaches to public-private partnerships are emerging. Who will lead the race to create the Arab city of the future? Where in the Persian Gulf are there already promising growth points for attracting large real estate investments? What are the advantages and differences in approaches to city development in the region’s countries?
