  • What’s lined-up for Kuwait’s Smart City transformation?

    South Saad Al Abdullah city in Kuwait is billed as the Middle East’s first development to be both green and ‘smart’.

    Construction work on the site, which will cover 64 square-kilometres and cost an estimated US$4 billion, is expected to start late next year.

  • XZero City is Kuwait’s Proposal for a Self-Sufficient Smart City

    Kuwait is planning a 1,600-hectare development that will provide residential units, jobs, and amenities for 100,000 residents. Developed by URB, the ambitious project aims to promote a sustainable lifestyle with high standards of living, yet a low impact on the environment. 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. The green transportation systems and dedicated cycling tracks will make this a car-free city, apart from a ring road that allows for limited vehicular access. The city also promotes a circular economy that aims to provide food and energy security for the residents.

    "The heart of this project is the unique resilient landscape, which is multifunctional and designed to promote health, wellbeing & biodiversity. The landscape is the social glue to the entire city, which will enable a vibrant neighborhood while connecting residents to all amenities within minutes. The landscape promotes a variety of habitats for wildlife." - Baharash Bagherian, CEO of URB
