Designed to foster an inclusive future for Oman’s growing population, the city introduces a new model for sustainable development. It provides a mix of housing types within walking distance to new public amenities, parks, and vibrant open spaces.

An ambitious design for Oman’s future

Sultan Haitham City is the first project within a larger program that Oman’s Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning is undertaking to implement a paradigm shift in the country’s urban development. As part of Oman Vision 2040, the country’s strategic long-term vision, the project is designed to accommodate 100,000 residents of Muscat’s growing population made up of locals, expatriates, and visitors.


For SOM, the opportunity to work across different disciplines and scales to realize an entirely new city chimed naturally with our interdisciplinary approach. Interpreting the Ministry’s twelve core attributes for the new city—inclusive, affordable, safe, compact, accessible, comfortable, robust, efficient, circular, healthy, smart, and lovable—SOM’s vision for Sultan Haitham City comprises over 2.9 million square meters of vibrant public space, 20,000 new homes of different scales and types, and smart urban mobility across a total 14.8 million square meters.

Promoting ecological resilience

In response to the country’s climatic realities, including soaring temperatures, humidity, and vulnerability to flooding in the summer, the urban design taps the potential of an existing 7.5-kilometer-long dry river—a wadi—that runs through the site. Harnessing natural water from flooding, the wadi is reinvented as a vibrant public green park that includes an interconnected network of open spaces and shaded plazas to encourage outdoor activity and social exchange.

As the heart of the new city, the park also acts as an organizing mechanism. It links to four green pedestrian spines that catalyze the city’s nineteen neighborhoods and provides access for residents to parks, open spaces, and amenities all within walking distance of their homes.

The architecture of the city consists of culturally sensitive and energy-efficient buildings of mixed densities and typologies. Every home is located near routes designed to accommodate public transportation, smart forms of mobility, as well as walking and cycling along shaded paths.
