The creation of cities that follow the highest standards of sustainability is no longer a choice, it has become a necessity," he added. URB pointed out that at the heart of the project is a unique resilient landscape, designed to promote health, wellbeing and biodiversity. The multifunctional landscape is the social glue to the entire city and will connect residents to all amenities within minutes through its 44 km of dedicated green mobility tracks.
