By Salma Yassin
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has launched New Murabba Development Corporation (NMDC) to implement an outstanding development project spreading over 19 square kilometers to the northwest of downtown Riyadh.
It’s a future ambitious plan of a smart city that will take visitors to a completely other world of prosperity and luxury.
It’ll feature green areas, walking and cycling paths to enhance the quality of life by promoting healthy, active lifestyles and community activities.
Additionally, the project will feature more than 80 cultural and entertainment venues, a museum, a technology and design university, an immersive multipurpose theater and 20 of New York’s trademark Empire State buildings.
As a significant part of the project, a 400-meter-high-cue shaped skyscraper Mukaab will be built to be the world’s first immersive destination.
By 2030, the project is expected to add $48 billion to the GDP and generate 334,000 direct and indirect jobs.
