KUWAIT: Chairman of the engineering professions committee at the Municipal Council Ahmed Al-Fadhalah said Kuwait is on the verge of local and international investments including the project to build the Silk City, which represents Kuwait's future and the manifestation of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah's vision to find alternative sources of income. Speaking at a workshop the committee held under the title 'How to Manage Silk City' and attended by representatives from various state departments, Fadhalah said development projects should be properly developed, taking into consideration various aspects such as classical and modern architectural patterns.

In addition, Fadhalah stressed the need to benefit from Silk City despite previous mistakes committed in various projects in Kuwaiti and GCC cities. He also called for making Silk City a green one. Committee member Hassan Kamal said Silk City was discussed as a futuristic city to the north of Kuwait. The government has an ambitious plan to make it an integrated one.
