Why Kuwait Is Building This Strange City

I have to say at the begining I was sceptical this was just another iteration of the Dubai island disasters. But am glad to see Kuwait did a great job on their hydrology here.

I still think there are cheaper solutions to circulate sea breeze through a larger city, but this has a charm to it as well.

Just hope that the final city planning of the new living space will turn out a bit bettert than just the rich car dependant suburb we see built so far.

To see why you need to diversify a city. Look at Bad Gestein to see just how fast a rich resort can be abandoned at a whim. A 9th century town turned into a resort in the middle ages already and almost abandoned now and for no reason in recent decades. 

TLDR: good job Kuwait, just keep doing a good job and don't fall for the rich resort trap as so many places did.
