September 15, 2022 Maria-Cristina Florian 0

Kuwait is planning a 1,600-hectare development that will provide residential units, jobs, and amenities for 100,000 residents.

The masterplan for the smart city is designed to optimize density and amenities distribution to create a walkable city, while also optimizing the green space ratio. This will help mitigate the effects of rising temperatures and the urban heat island effect.
