Building Sustainable Communities in Qatar

02 August 2008

MEED’s ‘Building Sustainable Communities in Qatar’ conference will provide you with updates on current building codes and regulations in Qatar and advice on sustainable developments.

Qatar is growing at a frenetic pace. Life expectancy and standard of living are on the rise. The country’s population increased an estimated 79 percent between 2006 and 2008, its GDP growth rate averages over 18 percent, and building construction and road expansion are ubiquitous.

But is economic development in Qatar at the expense of the social well-being of the population? And how can Qatar balance today’s growth against the resources available to future generations?
