The Abo El Lathameen Redesign Project envisions the transformation of an urban space into a healthy, biodiverse, and sustainable environment that supports vibrant community life. The core idea is to promote environmental consciousness while encouraging social interaction across all age groups. The project aims to build stronger social ties and a deeper connection with nature by introducing inclusive and engaging green spaces. The overarching goal is to create a unified ecosystem where people, plants, and culture coexist harmoniously — making the world a better place, together.

The project focuses on redesigning a community space to foster sociability, comfort, and sustainability through strategic spatial planning and programming. It integrates diverse functions such as plant nurseries, children’s workshops, bike lanes, picnic areas, and a glass house, all mapped to encourage active public engagement. The design encourages imageability and intimacy by introducing artistic installations, public art, trees for shade and enclosure, and interactive areas for families, kids, and plant vendors. The scope covers both aesthetic and functional goals to serve all user groups — children, families, the elderly, and plant lovers — creating a lively yet calming urban retreat.

Technically, the project is built around a structured zoning strategy shown in the site’s master plan, which includes main and secondary paths, bike lanes, and clearly defined zones for various activities. Spatial qualification is achieved through principles of sociability, imageability, intimacy, and enclosure. Design elements include shaded seating, interactive pathways, greenery, street furniture, visual landmarks, and security-focused lighting. The use of trees, benches, and facades not only defines space but also provides comfort and security. Each space is purposefully designed to improve social interaction, visual coherence, and environmental performance, with accessibility and inclusivity at the core.
