Brief About The Project: 

Our project aims to improve the quality of life for people in Al-Jada'a neighbourhood by proposing a set of small interventions as a solution for the urban diseases and problems that the area is suffering from through adaptive re-use and urban in-fill projects that would accommodate and interact with the local community and the tourists. these interventions come in the shape of public spaces and services, strengthening social bonds (which will lead to a safer environment for people) and job opportunities for locals, in hope of enhancing their economic situation, or at least make life easier.
