Or Madinat al-Hareer [مدينة الحرير] ; Will be a huge complex of 250 km² that will be built in Subiya, Kuwait. It will feature the highest skyscraper in the world, still uncertain which size it will have, or which it’ll become. Currently there’s a skyscraper planned of 1001m and one of 1852m (Al Jaber-Tower).
The complex will be a city that can hoist 700,000 people in it. It will have a high-speed line that directly connects Subiya to the Middle East and China. Also it will have a large business area, with a new airport, duty free zones, and much more.
It will also be the biggest complex ever to be built up till now. However you can expect that Dubai will counterpunch this plan by the double, latest reports show that Dubai will make a skyscraper passing the 2000 meter mark.
This project is framed at 25 billion Kuwati Dinars or 136 Billion Dollar. Completion of the whole city is planned in 2023, the towers should be finished in 2012.
