The name "Cities of the Future Khabari" is a reference to the past: "Khabari" were called oases - community centers where nomads could meet with relatives and friends living in other parts of the desert. Now, according to Kuwaiti developers, such meetings and informal communication usually take place in shopping centers and cafes, so they will take the main place in the new city.
To protect the residents and guests of the complex from the harsh desert climate, a 2 km long covered park with fountains and squares will be set up along its central axis; shops and restaurants will be located along it. Twin towers with a shallow "ramp" in the center will be erected around: these low-rise sectors of the buildings will also house overlapped public spaces. The high-rise buildings will house offices for 7,000 employees, apartments for 2,570 families and a hotel complex with a congress center. One of the largest garages in the world will be built underground - for 15,000 cars; a monorail line will also be built there for the convenient movement of residents within the city.
All infrastructure, a network of shopping and entertainment establishments will be designed for consumers of the highest level; this is not the first such project in Kuwait, and it is almost commonplace if you look at it on a regional scale. Many states in the Middle East are trying to lay the foundation for their prosperity in the future when their oil reserves are depleted. The best alternative to the energy industry seems to them to be tourism. Therefore, in the last 10-15 years, projects of "ideal cities" have constantly appeared (and are already being implemented), where all residents - people from different countries of the world - are respectable and more than well-off, the infrastructure and life support system are at the highest level, and are often observed the most stringent "green" standards.
It remains only to be surprised at the ease with which real estate dealers bring closer the future, familiar from science fiction novels: a new social structure is created only with the help of active advertising and thoughtful investment of funds: a utopia for a wealthy minority, a dystopia for an army of service personnel and builders, a unique polygon of ideas for architects.
