Self-organized communities, urban governance and the city: Lessons learned from Muscat, Oman

.

This research aims to understand the different forms of landownership and habitation, to identify the role of citizens in land management and urban development within diverse neighbourhoods with varying self-governance systems. Furthermore, the research explores the relations between the horizontal and vertical scale, on which both the civil society and the public sector operate. Through the identification of self-organized communities in relation to land management bodies in Muscat, the research outlines various structures of neighbourhoods that could achieve a collaborative discussion, internally and externally.
