Highlighting the Aga Khan Trust for Culture’s parks and gardens, we will examine the historical and contemporary relevance of the Islamic Garden typology. Additionally, WOHA’s innovative strategies for integrating water management, productive landscapes, and the synergy between nature, agriculture, and architecture will be discussed. Learn how urban green spaces can transform cities and enhance the quality of life for residents, drawing inspiration from both tradition and modern design.
