Prioritizing efficiency and livability, the master plan for Shores of Karbala takes advantage of its scenic waterfront location to recreate a city by designing a network of urban centers connected by an “Emerald Necklace” of walkable and bikeable green-space corridors. Multiple entry points enable access to local religious sites while also offering opportunities for phased investment and development of the community. Architecturally, the mixed-income plan is distinguished by residential buildings, villas, and community centers that blend modern amenities with contextually appropriate design.
