Foster + Partners公布了位于阿曼南部佐法尔省的Al Najd农业城详细总体规划设计。该项目与总部位于阿曼的国际多学科咨询机构Dar Al-Handasah合作，占地 5400万平方英尺，是一座自给自足的农业开发项目，将建设于肥沃土壤之上，并回应该地区独特的环境条件。该项目由住房与城市规划部、农业部委托，契合“阿曼愿景 2040”。它将推动粮食安全与农业创新，支持经济多元化，并成为阿曼首个零废弃农业开发项目。

Foster + Partners has unveiled detailed masterplan designs for the Al Najd Agricultural City in Dhofar, southern Oman. Working in collaboration with Dar Al-Handasah, the Oman-based international multi-disciplinary consultant, the 54 million-square-foot, self-sustaining agricultural development will be built on fertile soil and respond to the region’s unique environmental conditions. The project for the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning, and the Ministry of Agriculture, aligns with the Oman Vision 2040. It advances food security and agricultural innovation, supports economic diversification, and will become Oman’s first zero-waste agricultural development.

Foster + Partners工作室负责人Stefan Behling表示：“这一总体规划以历史为启发、以技术为驱动，将为该地区创造一个健康且自给自足的核心。我们的设计根植于农业创新，并培育社区，以创造一个真正可持续且具有韧性的场所，服务于未来世代。”

Stefan Behling, Head of Studio, Foster + Partners, said: “Informed by history and driven by technology, the masterplan will create a healthy and self-sufficient heart for the region. Our design is grounded in agricultural innovation and nurtures community to create a truly sustainable and resilient locale, which will serve future generations.”

总体规划的灵感源自阿曼历史上的发展形态，在这些发展中，农业一直是公共生活的重要组成部分。方案以多尺度的规划方式为特征，由一组组矩形农田构成，农田规模从10公顷到200公顷不等，并从紧凑的城市核心高效地向外放射。农业空间也被嵌入公园、林荫大道和庭院等公共区域之中，形成独特的城市身份。城市中心设有遮阴步行路径、整合的公共交通连接、文化与宗教建筑、教育与医疗设施，以及零售和休闲空间，可支持预计13,000名居民和6,500个新增就业岗位。该开发项目与其他区域枢纽和农场形成战略性连接，以构建具有韧性的食物系统并推动增长。

The masterplan is inspired by historic developments in Oman, where agriculture has been an integral part of public life. The scheme is defined by a multi-scalar approach to planning with clusters of rectangular farms, ranging in size (from 10 to 200 hectares), efficiently radiating outwards from a compact urban core. Agricultural spaces are also embedded within public areas such as parks, boulevards, and courtyards, creating a distinctive urban identity. The city centre features shaded pedestrian routes, integrated public transport connections, cultural and religious buildings, educational and healthcare facilities, as well as retail and leisure spaces, supporting a projected population of 13,000 residents and 6,500 new jobs. The development is strategically connected to other regional hubs and farms to create resilient food systems and drive growth.

一支农业顾问团队为总体规划谨慎筛选了作物，重点关注适宜该地区的品种，例如椰枣树、温室种植番茄，以及用于生产原材料的工业作物。该项目还支持出口和农产品加工机会，包括干制和冷冻农产品、油类、堆肥和肥料的生产。整合技术包括用于过滤阳光并调节温度的遮阳网、用于作物保护和发电的农光互补系统、用于建立闭环生态系统的鱼菜共生系统，以及先进的水资源和能源管理系统。多元化的水资源策略包括地下水、通过水坝收集来自山地的径流水，以及淡化海水，同时对灌溉进行细致监测，并选择节水型作物。

A team of agricultural consultants have carefully selected crops for the masterplan, focusing on regionally suitable varieties such as date palms, greenhouse-grown tomatoes, and industrial crops that produce raw materials. The project also supports exports and agro-processing opportunities, including the production of dried and frozen produce, oils, compost, and fertiliser. Integrated technologies include shade nets to filter sunlight and regulate temperature, agrivoltaics for crop protection and power generation, aquaponics to create closed-loop ecosystems, as well as advanced water and energy management systems. The diversified water strategy includes groundwater, collecting runoff water from the mountains via dams, and desalinated seawater, with careful monitoring of irrigation and the selection of water-efficient crops.

Foster + Partners合伙人Stephanie Tunka补充道：“在该地区独特景观与气候的引导下，我们将可持续策略嵌入总体规划之中，以帮助人与场所、自然之间建立紧密联系。”

Stephanie Tunka, Partner, Foster + Partners, added: “Guided by the region’s unique landscape and climate, we have embedded sustainable strategies within the masterplan that help create strong connections between people, place, and nature.”
