Greater Muscat Master Plan Tackles State Challenges
The structural plan for the Wilaya of Al Seeb in the Sultanate of Oman addresses how to manage urban expansion, population growth, and the challenges stemming from traffic congestion, as well as the need to improve infrastructure and services. It focuses on rehabilitating old neighborhoods by upgrading streets, providing pedestrian pathways, and establishing reliable public transportation, while preserving the social and spatial identity of the area. The plan also tackles the risks posed by seasonal wadis by enhancing drainage channels and converting some routes into public green spaces, with the aim of reducing floods and achieving environmental sustainability. Additionally, the plan links the development of a comprehensive public transportation system—particularly a metro project spanning 55 km with 42 stations—to boosting economic growth through investments in industrial and technological zones, transforming Al Seeb into a well-integrated, sustainable urban and economic hub.
