Masterplanners OMA beat out international competition to develop the new 10km² Airport City in Qatar. The development will provide work and housing for 200,000 people through a series of four circular districts, surrounding and linking the new Hamad International Airport (HIA) with Doha, Qatar. Each of the four districts of Airport City will be unique within the master plan’s overall identity; the business district, the aviation campus, the logistics district and the residential district. “We are delighted and honoured to participate in the exciting growth of Doha, in a project that is perhaps the first serious effort anywhere in the world to interface between an international airport and the city it serves,” OMA founder Rem Koolhaas said. OMA expect the project to be mostly complete by the time the 2022 World Cup is hosted by Qatar. http://www.etravelblackboardasia.com/article/89878/qatar-airport-city-masterplan
