The comprehensive development initiative is designed to harness the economic, environmental, and social potential of the Dhofar region
Oman’s Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning has announced the completion of the first two phases of its Salalah masterplan. The comprehensive development initiative is designed to harness the economic, environmental, and social potential of the Dhofar region.
Following the completion of these phases, which involve data collection and analysis, the ministry said it was currently working on the general structural plan and detailed regional plans.
Spanning over 427m sqm between Salalah and the wilayat of Taqah, the plan aims to accommodate more than 480,000 residents, marking an important milestone in Dhofar’s urban evolution.
A key feature of the initiative is the ‘Future City’ of Salalah, spanning seven sqkm and designed to house 60,000 residents in approximately 12,000 housing units. The city will incorporate modern urban design with sustainable practices, green spaces spanning 2.5m sqm, recreational parks, cultural facilities, and a seafront.
Using advanced, AI-led technologies, a climate-resilient infrastructure is central to the overall vision, ensuring long-term appeal and adaptability. |
