According to the reports, the smart city would be like any other city with an area of three thousand and eight hundred acres dedicated to the industrial, retail space and office use. Four hundred and seventy acres of land has been designated for the making of public schools. The city would be having eight thousand homes and the remaining land of three thousand and four hundred acres would be open land.
Belmont Partners expressed that the land transformation would be like an unused-empty slate turned into a purposeful city standing on flexible structural design.
Due to the growing interest in smart cities, this project would be like the cherry on top. These cities would be such where technology is used for cleaning streets, unlocking office doors, switching on personal computers before reaching the office, turning off lights, reserving parking slots and much more.
