Architects and researchers in urban design, Kelly Hutzell, Rami el Samahy and Adam Himes , reflect on how the present structure of Doha in Qatar is a result of intermittent state interventions ‐ failures as well as successes. They explain how these sporadic initiatives manifested themselves in two main bursts of activity: 1971‐86 and 1999 to the present day.
