Description
- The city is designed with a focus on wellbeing and sustainability.
- At the heart of the city is the CBD (Central Business District), which is bordered by a light industrial belt.
- The CBD contains key amenities such as a sports stadium, museum, city university, and a large city park.
- This large park branches out into the surrounding neighborhood clusters, creating a connected green network that links the entire city.
- The city consists of 10 neighborhood clusters arranged in an orthogonal grid around the central district.
- The villa cluster is the basic residential unit, with homes arranged around a traditional Kuwaiti cul-de-sac (farige), which acts as a shaded courtyard and shared space for residents.
- A community center is formed by multiple villa clusters, offering amenities such as local parks, shops, nursery schools, kindergartens, and mosques within 250 meters of the residences.
- These smaller communities combine to form larger neighborhoods, each featuring a residential center with a souk, health centers, youth facilities, and primary, elementary, and secondary schools.
- The city promotes luxurious high-density living through diverse housing typologies.
- The development will use a modular construction system, allowing for multiple configurations and supporting the local construction industry.
- This flexible approach to construction ensures the adaptability and sustainability of the city's housing units.
- Various leisure activities are planned, including desert glamping, e-biking, design galleries, and luxury shopping venues.
- These attractions aim to provide a well-rounded lifestyle for residents, catering to both recreational and luxury experiences.
