REINVIGORATING SPACES THE PROJECT IS LOCATED IN RASHIDIYA , DUBAI , UAE. AL RASHIDIYA IS A RESIDENTIAL SUBURB IN DUBAI. IT IS ONE OF THE FEW PLACES WHERE
EMIRATIS STARTED LIVING AROUND THE 1970S , BEFORE DUBAI HAD STARTED TO GROW. TODAY IT IS ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE HUBS DUE
URBAN DESIGN SEM 7 TO THE NEARBY METRO STATION ACTIVITY. GRADUALLY , THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN EXPAT POPULATION AND A DECREASE OF EMIR-
GROUP PROJECT ATE FAMILIES. THE PROJECT AIMS TO ENHANCE THE LIVABILITY OF THAT AREA. WHILE FOCUSING ON STRATEGIES WHICH CATER TO BOTH THE
EXPATS AND LOCALS.
