As the GCC navigates a period of geopolitical uncertainty, this webinar brings together data-driven market analysis and design leadership perspective to unpack current conditions and lies ahead.
Drawing on MEED Projects data, the webinar will assess the impact of the Iran conflict on the regional projects market, examining contract award and tendering activity through H1 2026, the near-term effects on real estate and construction costs, and potential shifts in the development pipeline.
Looking ahead, the conversation will widen its lens to the forces reshaping the Gulf's urban agenda — rapid population growth, evolving resident expectations, and an increasingly mature urban fabric — and what these dynamics mean for the design decisions being made today.
Together, these perspectives give attendees both a project-level, data-driven read on near-term market conditions and a broader view of where regional design and development leadership is headed — essential context for developers, consultants, contractors, and investors active across the GCC.
