Qatar National Master Plan
editThe Qatar National Master Plan (QNMP) is described as a "spatial representation of the Qatar National Vision 2030".[5] As part of the QNMP's Urban Centre plan, which aims to implement development strategies in 28 central hubs that will serve their surrounding communities, Fereej Kulaib has been designated a District Centre, which is the lowest designation.[6]
Development of the District Centre will take place along Khalifa Avenue, with the bulk of the work being carried an undeveloped plot at the south-east section of Khalifa Avenue and Jassim Bin Hamad Street. The area around the heart of the District Centre is primarily a residential area and has two large schools nearby. Metro stations will provide accessibility to the area from the Centre's western and eastern corners, respectively. Two zones will fall within the Centre's jurisdiction: Zone 33 (Al Markhiya) and Zone 35 (Fereej Kulaib).[7]
