Transport and Infrastructure

Infrastructure and mobility are fundamental drivers of sustainable economic growth. With 1.5million people relocating to cities worldwide each week, it is crucial to establish effective mobility pathways, secure grid connectivity, access to safe drinking water, well-designed sanitation networks, and up-to-date communication systems.

Service Description

For over two decades, our Infrastructure and Transport teams have been delivering solutions to address these challenges for clients in the Levant and the GCC. Operating within a multidisciplinary context, our teams collaborate closely with city planners and urban designers to seamlessly integrate transportation and infrastructure solutions within broader city plans. After all, behind every well-functioning city lies a well-conceived and solid infrastructure foundation.

Our experience in the Infrastructure and Transport sectors spans a wide range of projects, from providing comprehensive design services for high-end urban districts in Central Beirut, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, to overseeing the construction, rehabilitation, and expansion of roads, wet utilities, electrical, and telecommunication networks in rural areas.

We provide solutions that take into account environmental impact, economic feasibility, and procurement of cutting-edge solutions that lead to energy savings or seamless operation. Our breadth of expertise in transportation, roads and highways, wet and dry utilities positions us as a privileged partner for public development authorities, as well as semi-private and private development agencies looking to spur economic growth through transportation and infrastructure ventures.

Cities

Our  city planning team operates on the premise that cities are interdependent flows of energy, mobility, waste, and physical form. Our services therefore, integrate these different components into a coherent and functional whole, allowing people to seamlessly live, work, and play.

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
