Description
- XZERO is a 1,600-hectare development in the southern region of Kuwait, designed to provide 30,000 residential units and create 30,000 green jobs across various hubs including medical, tourism, technology, education, retail, and entertainment.
- The development is built around a holistic vision, addressing the three pillars of sustainability: social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
- The edutainment attractions, including the Utility Park and Nature Conservation Center, are key visitor attractions.
- The Green-Tech Hub promotes collaboration in food, energy, water, and waste technologies.
- The Medical Hub includes facilities like an autism village, wellness center, and clinics.
- The Educational Hub will feature a nursery, school, and institute.
- The Commercial Hub includes an indoor mall and flexible office spaces.
- The landscape is integrated with wadis to enhance resilience & livability whilst also promoting variation of habitats for wildlife.
- The Wadi plays a crucial role in stormwater management as both a retention and infiltration system.
- This open channel is planned at the heart of the project, with the topography engineered to allow runoff to be collected by the arteries featuring WSUD.
- The topography allows for the runoff to be directed naturally to the wadi. These holistic integrated natural systems provide for flow conveyance, sedimentation, infiltration, and evapotranspiration.
- The landscape is also productive, incorporating many different urban farming methods such as community gardens, biodomes, aquaponics, vertical farms & biosaline agriculture.
- The city offers 35 km of dedicated running and cycling tracks as well as a 9 km equestrian track, connecting to an equestrian center.
- XZERO is a self-sufficient smart city, powered by 100% renewable energy, with 100% water recycling and designed to be a zero-waste city.
- More than 65% of the land area is dedicated to open spaces, including productive landscapes, permeable pavements, sports fields, and courtyards.
- As an edgeless city, XZERO is surrounded by a buffer of nature reserves.
- Hospitality components include a 5-star eco-resort, eco-lodges, a nature conservation center, and an ecotourism visitor center, making XZERO a unique destination for travelers.
