Designing a mobility system for large-scale pilgrim hospitality in Mecca
The Thakher City project aimed at creating a new, 2M sqm district in Mecca, close to the Holy Mosque of the Ka’aba, designed to host pilgrims visiting for religious rituals like Hajj. We developed vehicular and pedestrian mobility strategies, supported by simulations of peak scenarios with up to 250K visitors.
