Kuwait accelerates development of three new urban areas as part of extensive growth initiative
Here's the scoop, dude: Kuwait's stepping up its game, planning to construct three massive residential cities to tackle the country's housing woes, so gimme a high-five!
So let's dish on the deets. Al-Khairan City is set to sprawl over a whopping 135 square kilometers, with a whopping 60,000 residential units[1][2]. It's gonna be a real mixed bag, too, featuring zones for residential, commercial, investment, service, and industrial facilities[2].
But that ain't all, partner. We've also got Nawaf Al-Ahmad City on the horizon. This one's going to cover 125 square kilometers and offer 55,000 housing units[2], making it a fine companion to the other cities. Expect slick construction systems and infrastructure to match its siblings[2].
Lastly, we've got Al-Sabriya City, which is gonna rise on an 80 square kilometer plot, likewise providing a cool 55,000 units[2]. It'll have integrated service facilities and the same зoning as its fellow cities[2].
Abdullatif Al-Mishari, the Minister of State for Municipal Affairs and Housing Affairs, made the announcement, revealing that the projects are currently inviting consultancy offices to expedite construction efforts[2]. As long as the Board of Directors of the Public Authority for Housing Welfare signs off, we're a go[2].
Al-Mishari ain't no slouch, either. He's focused on ensuring the highest quality standards for these new cities[2]. He's limiting the competitions to companies and consultancy offices specializing in this field, meaning top-notch practices, courtesy of the best international procedures[2]. Both local and international firms are invited to join the party[2].
So, buckle up, 'cause these cities are going to provide a grand total of approximately 170,000 homes[2]. That's pretty wicked, if you ask me! They'll cater to the housing needs of Kuwaiti families, offering a variety of housing options[2]. It's all divided into residential zones for citizens and service, commerce, investment, and vital facilities[2].
Al-Mishari dropped a few more bits of news, too. He shared that the Khairan Residential City is planned to span an area of 135 square kilometers, with 60,000 residential units expected to be built[2].
In regard to Nawaf Al-Ahmad City, Al-Mishari confirmed its 125 square kilometer coverage and the 55,000 units earmarked for citizens' housing[2].
Regarding Al-Sabriya City, he mentioned its 80 square kilometer foundation and the planned 55,000 housing units[2]. Keep your peepers peeled for more updates and progress on this massive endeavor!

Sabriya, one of the three new residential cities in the making, will be built on an 80 square kilometer plot, offering 55,000 housing units. To ensure infrastructure preparation for these cities, the Ministry of State for Municipal Affairs and Housing Affairs is inviting international sports companies to help with the construction process, given the massive scale of these projects. The weather conditions must also be taken into account during the project's development to avoid any potential disruptions.
