Why Kuwait Is Building This Strange City

For all the people commenting that this not a "city" there is something lost in translation here. It should be called a development, or a resort, a residential satellite to the only real "city" in Kuwait, and definitely not a city in the all encompassing self sufficient way an urbanist thinks a city should aspire to be. There is no economic activity planned, there is no thinking of providing jobs at all. I'd even be surprised if schools and hospitals were not an afterthought, and I bet there is no room at all for teachers, nurses, gov and admin, let alone service workers to live affordably. It's a very different society you know.
