Oman has unveiled ambitious plans for a new 100,000-person “smart” city outside its capital, Muscat, Which is set across 14.8 square kilometers, Sultan Haitham City will be roughly equivalent in size to Beverly Hills, but with almost three times as many residents.
The plan includes 20,000 homes, as well as a university, schools, health facilities and mosques. It is due to be built on a largely undeveloped site in Al-Seeb, several kilometers west of Muscat.
