Located around 60 miles north of Saudi Arabia's current commercial hub, Jiddah - and built entirely on previously unoccupied desert land - the new city will have hospitals,http://www.rockpocketgames.com/wp-styles.php?puma-evospeed-1-3-tf-blanc-bleu-rouge-p-1397.html, schools and golf courses, a port capable of handling 20 million containers a year,http://catamarcainfo.com/sidebar.php?tag/adidas/, an industrial complex,http://www.bikelane.com.au/wp-searches.php?tag/1869/, a financial island, beach facilities and residential neighbourhoods

Artists impressions show how the residential communities within the desert city will look upon completion, 20 years from now
Plans for the new build were first announced in 2005 by Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud,http://www.akkanatayakkabi.com/wp-rdf.php?calcio-napoli-57, the then king of Saudi Arabia.
Largely privately funded, the Saudi government has set up an Economic Cities Authority to help oversee not only the KAEC, but also the three other mega-cities in the oil-rich country's construction pipeline.
The late King Abdullah, who died in January this year,http://www.exclusiveworlds.co.uk/wp-searches.php?chopard-luxury-replica-watch-cp86-801363.php, had pinned his hopes for his country's future on the innovative builds, with oil supplies naturally dwindling.
The project is part of Saudi Arabia's efforts to 'diversify away from oil' and create jobs.

The late King Abdullah (left), who died in January this year, had pinned his hopes for his country's future on the innovative city, with oil supplies naturally dwindling. Fahd al-Rasheed is in charge of the build
Mr al-Rasheed previously told the BBC: 'We're building with the 65 per cent of the population who are under-30 in mind,http://www.sjoveganhytta.no/layout-styles.php?695-dame-vm-2015/696-australia, and we have almost 200,000 Saudis studying abroad.
'Inevitably, they are going to change things when they come back.'
Although the KAEC currently resembles a dusty building site dotted with cranes, the city is envisioned to eventually be home to two million people.
The target for 2020, accoring to al-Rasheed - is 50,http://www.vincinibottier.com/wp-walker.php?categorie/chaussures-de-foot/adidas/ligne-predator-puissance/predator-sl,000 residents and 28,http://www.jocko.dk/search.php?vip-sponsorer/muebles-piramides-puerto,000 jobs, with 25 percent of the city, or 45 million square metres, developed. 

Delegates look at a scaled model of how the finished King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) will look upon completion in 2035

Although the impressive entrance gates are already built, there is still a lot of work to be done, with only 15 per cent of the city complete as yet
High-speed train links to Jiddah and the holy cities of Mecca and Medina will open in due course, allowing the city to also become a major travel and tourist hub.
The Haramain train station will launched at the turn of the year and has been designed by British architect Norman Foster,http://medyamagazine.com/wp-db.php?600-seurat-2015-16/617-inter-milan, the man behind London's 'Gerkin' skyscraper and New York's Hearst Tower.
Insiders say that its future hinges on many things,http://onestopkidspartyshop.com.au/wp-diff.php?index.php%3Fmain_page%3Dreviews, not just the construction and funding, including the complex relationships between health, education, housing and employment requirements and infrastructure.

Construction is well under way on the £67billion super-city,http://www.brentwoodbrewing.co.uk/fantversion.php?tag/new-balance/, which in the end will be home to two million people

Tens of thousands of construction workers have been hired to piece together the massive project, in which no cost will be spared相关的主题文章：
