The City’s Original Plan Showcases A Humanistic Project
The city’s master plan exemplifies human-centred execution. A cutting-edge digital metropolis that is both sustainable and pedestrian-friendly. It will set aside almost 44% of the total area for green open spaces in order to promote sustainable development. The city’s core will be built on three primary pillars. Education and entrepreneurship, culture and the creative arts, and science and technology are the three pillars. The city will be centred on people rather than automobiles. It’s also built with pedestrians in mind. A science museum and an art gallery will be part of the non-profit city. A play area, a cookery academy, and a creative centre are all available.
