Energy & Environment

Driven by population growth and global warming, public agencies are facing significant challenges related to energy and the environment. On a micro scale, the issue of energy efficiency in buildings and districts has gained prominence due to its clear economic and social benefits. On a macro scale, the need to create efficient waste management systems that support public health policies has been amplified by the rapid growth of cities in the MENA region.

Service Description
Although cities have been around for thousands of years, the twenty-first century is providing first glimpses of the radical changes that will impact urban living in the coming years.

This urban transformation is being driven by numerous technological advances: the pervasiveness of data, the exponentially decreasing cost of sensors and computational power, advances in artificial intelligence, and the rise of self-driving vehicles—all of which are reshaping how we understand and design urban flows.

At Laceco, wehave accumulated a deep technical understanding of what makes a city work: complementary land uses and densities, an urban fabric conducive to livable streets, strategically positioned public spaces, and flexible forms that can adapt to different functions. We are currently integrating our fundamental city planning principles with emerging disruptive trends observed in cities across North America and Asia.

Our city planning team now advises clients on urban ventures designed around enhanced connectivity, rationalized energy consumption, and flexible governance frameworks that move beyond rigid zoning regulations.

Project Description
The Boulevard is the mixed use artery of Amman’s new downtown. It includes hotels, offices, residences, retail uses and was designed to attract a flow of pedestrians intrigued by its programmatic variety. The project is currently one of the most successful public spaces in Amman, and is adopted by local communities as a focal point for commercial and civic activities.
The Brief
Abdali Boulevard Company aimed to achieve two objectives:
• Creating a prime pedestrian experience in Amman
• Developing a district that is economically attractive to investors coming from multiple industries (hospitality, corporations, retail, etc.)
Our Response
Laceco responded to the above objectives by:

• Designing a consistent urban framework that nevertheless provided a diversity in the individual architectural character of buildings
• Curating a seamless pedestrian experience in a site that had a challenging topography and was exposed to dominant winds
• Anchoring the site along three platforms linked to each other by a continuous game of terraces, stairs, suspended bridges and esplanades that gently slope down the length of the development
• Conducting value engineering and cost optimization studies to preserve economic viability of the development
