Dar Al Handasah recently presented the Al Najd Agricultural City Masterplan Project to senior government officials in Oman. The project, located in Al Najd, Dhofar, is led by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning. Dar Al Handasah is working in collaboration with Foster & Partners and Portland Design to develop this innovative master plan, which focuses on creating a seamless integration between urban living and agricultural land use. The presentation marks a significant milestone in the project’s development, as it progresses toward full-scale implementation.
The Al Najd Agricultural City is set to transform Dhofar into a center for sustainable agriculture. The master plan envisions a dynamic environment where residents can live and work while contributing to Oman’s food security by boosting crop production and reducing dependence on imports. By incorporating advanced agricultural practices and smart technologies, the city will enhance productivity and position Oman as a leader in agricultural innovation. In addition, it will create new job opportunities and support economic diversification, aligning with the goals outlined in Oman’s Vision 2040.
Designed to foster a balance between urban and rural development, the Al Najd Agricultural City will feature fully serviced, sustainable communities. The project will not only enhance living standards for residents but also contribute to long-term environmental and economic sustainability. As the master plan moves forward, the project is expected to play a critical role in advancing Oman’s agricultural sector and supporting national development objectives.
