Addressing severe traffic congestion, the project proposes a centralized hub that unifies multiple modes of mobility. It brings together existing systems such as metro, marine, and road networks with emerging futuristic technologies like Hyperloop and drone taxis within an integrated architectural framework. Strategically positioned at the intersection of major infrastructures, the hub is also designed to function as the central control center for Dubai\u2019s transportation network. The form of the design is derived from Dubai\u2019s circular urban growth pattern, shaped to reflect the city\u2019s spatial logic and connectivity.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator
