Parks are the highest sustainable lifestyle in the world, providing a net-zero lifestyle for 150,000 residents. The city will produce 100% of its energy, water and food on site to become a self-sufficient destination.
The 1700 hectare smart city is planned for the eastern region of South Africa. The development will provide a variety of mixed-use centres such as residential, health, tourism, entertainment, retail and education centres. The 40 000 residential units will be spread over 12 residential areas.
The city's economy will be automated and digital, with the majority of jobs in green technology. The design, construction and operation of the city will create more than 40 000 jobs in the short and long term. The city will thus become a benchmark for economically viable, sustainable lifestyles and contribute positively to the country's green economic growth.
