Madinat al-Hareer (Arabic: مدينة الحرير, meaning "City of Silk"), is a proposed 250 square kilometer planned urban area in Subiya, Kuwait, an area just opposite Kuwait City which, upon construction, would include the Burj Mubarak al-Kabir , the world's tallest structure, a natural desert reservation of 2 square kilometres, a duty free area which will be beside a new airport, in addition to a large business center, conference areas, environmental areas, athletic areas, and areas that concentrate on media, health, education, and industry. The City of Silk will also include numerous tourist attractions, hotels, spas, and public gardens. As of this time, it is unclear as to the scope of this project, if it has received any approvals, or if it has the required funding; however, the city will be built in individual phases with total completion within twenty-five years. The development will cost an estimated 25 billion Kuwaiti Dinars (86.1 billion USD). Burj Mubarak al-Kabir should not be confused with the Al Jaber Tower proposed by the famous Italian architect Amero Marchetti, part of the planned "ethic city". If built the Al Jaber Tower would reach 1852 meters.

  • At the 2008 TED ...

    At the 2008 TED Conference, Neil Turok's 2008TED Prize wish asked: "...the TED community to help him expand the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences by opening 15 new centers across Africa in five years.

    By adding resources ... he says, we can create a network for progress across the continent -- and perhaps discover an African Einstein."

    Perhaps the authorities in Kuwait will make a similar wish come true in "Cultural City" leading to another Einstein.

  • There are several ...

    There are several cities mentioned including, "Olympic City", "Financial City" and "Olympic City" but no "Learning City". It's time that countries like Kuwait placed greater importance on knowledge, science, literature and the arts.

    The center of the intellectual world was once in the Mid East and could be again.

  • The X-Seed 4000 " ...

    The X-Seed 4000 "was never meant to be built," says Georges Binder, managing director of Buildings & Data, a firm which compiles data banks on buildings worldwide. "The purpose of the plan was to earn some recognition for the firm, and it worked."[1]

    Its proposed 4,000 metres (13,123 ft) height, 6 km (3.7 mi) wide sea-base, and 800 floor capacity could accommodate five hundred thousand to one million inhabitants.

    this is the tallest building that has been planned
