The City’s objective is to become an international model of sustainable living, work education and entertainment. It aims to provide all the amenities and luxuries of modern life with no sacrifice to the environment. This city redefines sustainable living by providing an unprecedented experience in terms of no service or maintenance fees, energy efficient housing, “green” education and health care, eco-attractions and a full range of indoor and outdoor active and passive recreation opportunities.
