Heba Rasheed – Family Friendly Cities: The Role of Urban Planning in Creating Safe, Inclusive, and Supportive Environments for Families – 2025
This publication presents my Master's dissertation completed in 2026, exploring the role of urban planning in creating family-friendly cities. The research examines planning principles, urban design strategies, and policy frameworks that promote safety, inclusivity, accessibility, and well-being for families. Through literature review, case studies, and analytical research, the dissertation proposes planning recommendations for developing supportive and sustainable urban environments that enhanc
PULSE OF THE PLANET
Restoring the balance between the built environment and nature PULSE OF THE PLANET is the heart of the Earth, collaborating with the Lungs (Amazon Forest). The project interweaves and connects tourism, ecology, and community to encourage pure living. Unfortunately due to a bug in the website, I was unable to upload my project and am deeply disheartened.
EUNOIA
‘Slowing down, experiencing, and thinking’ are the parts of the methodology that is accepted and embraced while recreating the faded-green Nuestro Park, located in the hot-arid climate of Phoenix, Arizona.
Productive Organism : Sustainable Living Habitat in Urban Peripheries
The aim of the thesis is the restructuring and upgradation of housing and landscape (ecology & built environments) in the urban peripheries to integrate sustainable systems. It explores a form of sustainable urbanism, to create an ecosystem of living conditions and natural systems and developing a form of sustainable living habitat which is more contextual.
ecOASIStem
Oasis, a word that brings so many concepts to one’s mind in climatic, social, lifestyle, historical, and financial fields, thus many of our ideas came from there. An oasis is a place in a desert that contains water, supplied by a spring or another underground water source. This word is a symbol of both fear and hope. Fear of desert, dehydration, wild nature
Good job!! Beautifully designed and organized.
Excellent!👌
Wellll donee. Proud of u ♡♡♡♡♡
Redevelopment of Devrai Arts Village, Panchgani
This thesis topic talks about the design development of Devrai Art Village, located in Panchgani, Maharashtra where Rock Dhokra art – a unique invention born out of traditional dhokra art form is being currently developed and practiced within the artisans and craftsmen of Devrai.
GOLUBAC: NEW VIEWS
The project includes research, as well as proposals for the transformation and development of Golubac, a village located in eastern Serbia on the banks of the Danube.
BEETWEEN
While analyzing the project site, we identified it as a threshold between the expanding city and surrounding nature. Instead of creating a sharp division, we approached sustainability as a unity where urban and natural elements intertwine. Our design reflects this relationship and aims to rethink how city and nature can coexist.
THE URBAN MOUNTAIN
A sustainable design should be able to account for and minimize the negative environmental impacts of buildings. An Urban Meal Mine aimed to become an epitome for when farms meet the cities should hence, necessarily be able to reflect upon the benefits of what a green and sustainable ecosystem could do for the people surrounded by otherwise concrete jungles.
Transitional Linkage
Concept of this project came from the site. Studying the site it was found that there is an invisible path going through the rail line and crossing the highway. That path was created because of peoples need. So I try to formalize that path in my project for the ease of movement of local pedestrian. Those paths become my concept of central space of my project
VERTICAL SPA AS A LANDMARK IN THE URBAN CORE
What would become if all the facilities and the content offered by horizontal spa, were to be placed in a vertical one. Emphasizing the physical distance from the urban environment is a unique experience of the Vertical spa. What kind of emotional and spiritual state would such spaces develop and awaken in the user, at a higher altitude?
Restart for the Coast
My Master Thesis is focused on finding complex and innovative solution to the housing crisis in the Belgium coast. I am recreating the meaningful relationship with the landscape, strengthening the mobility infrastructure and transforming underused caravan park into the new settlement with affordable and flexible housing.
Building Smarter, Building Together
"BSBT" addresses head on the realities of the previous devastating flood and proactive methods to mitigate future floods. Our approach builds upon enhanced digital technology in combination with shared spatial interventions and strengthens the community through shared building and socio-economic investment strategies.
BIOPHILIC DESIGN APPROACH TO BRIDGE T
Amazing
Stunning initiative in architecture design
Great idea to enhance human nature connection
A Dialogue With Nature
The project brings 100 houses together, through the creation of an idealized neighborhood and a distinct community layout that realizes the thought that flooding is a natural occurrence and the aim is not to halt it however adapt to its inevitability.
Safe (X)
A planning outline for scalable 100 units regenerative community housing model is proposed and the strategies are refined from a Master plan level to dwelling unit level, along with an action plan for functionally surviving the flood. Safe (X) is a unique model which can be adapted in any location which ensures the safety of all communities considered.
Overall a comprehensive and well-illustrated scheme.
