00:02Es geht um die Nachwärmung und um deine Leben.
00:05Menschen nehmen keine Gebäude oder Infrastruktur.
00:09Sie nehmen eine Zukunft für sie und ihre Familien.
00:17Ein ganzes Nachwärmungsgebäude, klein genug, um auf dem Tafel.
00:20Hier in Cityscape Qatar in Doha,
00:23die Entwickler zeigen, was sie planen zu bauen,
00:26und was Leben dort sein könnte.
00:28The Homes On Show range from studio flats for first-time buyers to villas with five or six bedrooms.
00:36We have got 70 exhibitors from more than 15 countries and 400 projects showcased this year.
00:42So it's really offering a big variety, a lot of investment opportunities, new communities you're going to find out in
00:48the future, where to live, where the new school's going, where the hospitals are going.
00:52For buyers, the question is what they can afford.
00:55Qatari developer Barwa says controlling building costs can help keep prices down.
01:01We have a list of contractors, designers and people who can study and look the price carefully before we start
01:11building any buildings.
01:12So we have reached a point where with the experience that we have, so we can tell you exactly how
01:18much that building will cost.
01:19So in order to sell these apartments with a lower cost of construction and development, that will be affordable and
01:26available for people to buy and living in very affordable apartments.
01:33At Cityscape, Barwa unveiled plans for Barwa Bay.
01:37The two towers at La Salle Marina will have more than 600 apartments.
01:42We're trying to bring to the market something a little bit premium with an affordable price as well, but premium.
01:49So with a unique design, a hotel design apartment.
01:54But at the end of the day, you will own these apartments.
01:56So Barwa Bay is an iconic project.
02:00An iconic tower is easy to spot on a scale model.
02:04What's harder to picture is what the neighborhood will be like once people move in.
02:09In terms of the experience from visitors coming to Cityscape, they are able to meet with the developers directly, learn
02:16about those projects face to face,
02:18and actually get the true insights about what is happening, not only in the area of the project itself, but
02:23in the neighborhood itself,
02:24where the infrastructure is going, where the communities are happening, you know, all the amenities and utilities that really make
02:31living there feasible.
02:33The Grove is a new housing development in Lusail designed around a pedestrian shopping street right on the waterfront.
02:41Juan says his team has been working on the Grove for about three years.
02:45Even a short walk can be a challenge in Qatar's summer heat.
02:50Juan, will residents be able to walk to the shops here, or will they still need a car?
02:55They will be able to walk, yes, absolutely.
02:57We have accommodated deep balconies so the units can enjoy external living throughout the year.
03:04We have a lot of shading and cooling elements to make those areas quite pleasant for the use,
03:12not only on a small period of time, but extend that use through the year.
03:18A school nearby or a shorter commute might draw someone to a neighborhood.
03:23It's about good schools.
03:25It's about good health care centers.
03:27It's about nice parks.
03:29It's about good pathways.
03:32It's about a clean and safe neighborhood.
03:35And it does not have to cost that much.
03:40And it's often, you say, and you claim that it's lack of money or technology,
03:46but even more often it's a lack of good governance.
03:51So make the neighborhood as adaptive and as resilient as possible,
03:57because the future will, in any case, look different than we think today.
04:02But buyers and renters also want to know what it's like to live in the building itself.
04:07Residents are not looking only for community these days.
04:11They want more.
04:11They want specific amenities.
04:13They want the extras that not any building can offer.
04:16They want a good landlord.
04:18They want a good facility company that's managing these towers.
04:21Abir describes an AI search tool that can suggest neighborhoods
04:25based on what buyers and renters need.
04:28So you will talk with this AI tool in a human language.
04:31I need the community that exists next to X type of schools.
04:35It needs to be next to my work, which is there.
04:38Like you're talking to a person.
04:39And then it will list for you all the convenient places
04:42that you can rent or buy a home.
04:44Where schools go, how streets connect,
04:47and how much shade there is will shape daily life.
04:50Those choices will matter long after construction ends
04:53when these neighborhoods become home.
