Roundtable
On 10 February 2022, a roundtable titled ‘Rethinking streetscapes for Abu Dhabi’ was hosted online by the Department of Architecture and Design at Abu Dhabi University. The roundtable formed part of an LSE Middle East Centre academic collaboration project that includes researchers from Abu Dhabi University and LSE Cities, titled ‘Roads as Tools for (Dis)connecting Cities and Neighbourhoods: a Socio-spatial Study of Abu Dhabi’.
The aim of the roundtable was to acknowledge the current challenges of Abu Dhabi’s car centric urban development and rethink the role of roads under the new dynamic conditions.
