Abstract

Doha, glavni grad Katara doživjela je poprilično ubrzanu transformaciju od tradicionalnog do modernog urbanog prostora. Razvoj Dohe započinje kao malo zasebno naselje u neposrednoj blizini Al Bidde koja se prvi put spominje u 17. stoljeću. Sredinom 19. stoljeća dolazi do povezivanja Al Bidde i Dohe u jedan jedinstven grad. Značajniji urbani razvoj omogućen je pronalaskom nafte i zemnog plina 1939. godine čija je komercijalna proizvodnja odgođena do 1949. godine zbog Drugog svjetskog rata. Unatoč mogućnostima koje su pružali prihodi od nafte i zemnog plina, država nije željela ograničavati svoje mogućnosti samo na tome, posebice nakon osamostaljenja 1971. godine. Naime, dodatno su se posvetili prostornom razvoju glavnog grada stvaranjem turistički atraktivnih lokacija te ulaganju u razvoj obrazovnih institucija. Takve odluke rezultirale su značajnim demografskim porastom te dodatnim ulaganjem u prostorno širenje grada i njegovo prilagođavanje stanovništvu. Ubrzani rast donio je poneke probleme u samom planiranju razvoja grada, no unatoč tome provedeni su određeni projekti obnove čime se stvorio simbolički i funkcionalni alat za budućnost Dohe.

Abstract (english)

Doha, the capital city of Qatar has experienced accelerated transformation from a traditional to a modern urban space. The development of Doha begins as a small village near the Al Bidda, which was first mentioned in 17th century. In the middle of the 19th century, Al Bidda and Doha merged into one unique city. More significant urban development started in 1939 when oil and natural gas were discovered, but commercial production was postponed until 1949 because of the World War II. Despite the opportunities provided by the oil and gas revenue, the State of Qatar did not want to limit their opportunities only to that, especially after acquiring independence in 1971. They devoted to spatial development of the capital city by creating attractive tourist locations and by investing into the development of educational institutions. Such decisions resulted in a significant demographic growth and in additional investment in spatial expansion of the city. The accelerated growth has brought problems in the city’s development, but despite that some projects have been carried out creating a symbolic and functional tool for the future of Doha.
