09:00 – 16:00 Workshop B: Master planning and future proofing of affordable housing developments

Morning refreshments, lunch and afternoon refreshments will be provided

This workshop will alter the way participants view housing planning and design and turn traditional concepts on their head. Affordable and low cost housing requires innovative, simple and considered master planning and design approaches in order to maximise the quality of the outcomes and the added value to the development. Land use, spaces between buildings and layout will affect the way affordable housing design is approached as a whole.

Benefits of attending:

  • Discover how to plan and design in a sustainable manner
  • Learn innovative design techniques to maximise the quality of project outcomes
  • Change your traditional design perspectives through innovative approaches
  • Explore land use requirements and the effect on developments as a whole

Workshop facilitator:

Ivar Krasinsky
Principal Design Director

Providing affordable housing continues to be a challenge within the current emerging Middle East market. Governments within the region are seeking exceptional development frameworks, strategies and legislation toward creating and sustaining affordable housing.

We are looking forward to this summit as we hope that the brainstorming sessions through the four days of innovative content and exchange of knowledge will boost the partnership and concentrate efforts of regional strategic leaders, thus assisting us to reach necessary targets.

It is largely felt that this summit is not only timely for Bahrain itself but for the entire region which is now on the verge of tremendous reform. The agenda successfully addresses all of the strategies necessary for successful reform; development, legislation, financing and above all, partnership.

We are very pleased with the way the summit has been structured and look forward to a fruitful event
