The "Silk City" project presented by a number of Kuwaiti private sector companies based on directions of the Amir of Kuwait sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.
A number of experts and specialists from international consultation offices made a detailed presentation of the project's aims; a multi-purpose city accommodating aspects of economy, commerce, culture, residence, and entertainment and built over 250 square kilometers in Subbiya.
The city would include a resort, a 200 hectare desert preserve, and linked to Kuwait City by the Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Bridge, as well as holding a free zone near a new international airport that would be linked by a new railway line and road and air networks extending to Central Asia.
The city would also hold a business city and an area for forums and exhibition, as well as cities dedicated for sports, culture, environment, media, industry, education and health.
Furthermore, it would include tourism centers, hotels, resorts, public gardens, spacious residential areas and a 1,001m-tall tower ( Mubarak Tower ).
Participants discussed legal aspects pertaining to the construction of "Silk City", as well as the construction and management phases that would extend over 25 years. They also discussed guarantees for total transparency so as to ensure equal opportunities for all and allow for the participation of the private sector within regulations.
Investments in the city were estimated at KD 25 billion, which would reflect positively on national economy and help diversity income, as well as creating 430,000 new jobs for national workers.
The project would also serve to create investment opportunities and attract both local and foreign investors, while creating an effective strategic partnership between the public and private sectors, as well as contributing to the architectural boom with a city designed to house over 700,000 people.
Participants welcomed this distinctive initiative in principle, noting the great efforts that went into preparing it.
They expressed their appreciation to the companies that made the initiative, saying that it was a positive example of partnership between the private sector and the government and a true representation of the aspired role for the private sector in development.
