Project North Pole
Supporting UN Sustainable Development Goals
Project context
Developed in four distinct phases, Momentum provided engineering, modeling, planning, and GIS/Cartographic support to help devise a comprehensive transport solution for this new urban development.
Our work
A primary objective of the scheme was to establish a new paradigm for movement and travel in KSA by shifting away from its current heavy reliance on cars. To achieve this, the team introduced a groundbreaking multi-timed city approach. This innovative strategy proposed a package of sustainable transport options that embodied the transport vision adopted for North Pole. The aim was to strike a harmonious balance between the significance and function of various types of journeys, spanning from one minute to one hour.
Client outcomes
Throughout the project, a suite of transport solutions was meticulously presented across five presentation sessions and two full submissions. These encompassed crucial aspects such as trip generation, parking, delivery and servicing, road
hierarchy, rail stations and stops, engineering of junctions, interchanges, and sections, as well as bus strategies and micromobility and active transport. The collective effort of the transport team resulted in a comprehensive and forward-thinking transport strategy that aligned seamlessly with the overall vision for Project North Pole, aiming to pave the way for a more sustainable and efficient urban landscape.
