-Zimbabwe has faced for many years, I was a bit surprised to read about this project. The government is hopeful that the new city will attract businesses and industry to Zimbabwe. We’ll see if it makes it out of the planning stage.

-plans; I haven’t read about any others that have done this. There are some who are opposed to not having access to a car in Bradfield City, which means that public transportation to and from Sydney will have to be very efficient.

-Colombo Port City will be designated as a ”special economic zone” in an effort to boost Sri Lanka’s economy. However, there is worry about who will control the new city, as Sri Lanka has had difficulty paying its debts to the Chinese companies it’s working with.

-However, Jordanians are wary of this new city, as they don’t want the government to make the same mistakes that neighboring Egypt has with its new capital. Given the cost and Jordan’s high debt, I have some doubts.

-shown in the article look like something out of a movie and not anywhere people could live. Based on what I’ve read, the project sounds ridiculous.

-building infrastructure for education in a space called IEP (International Educational Park). While the designs look very modern, I like that trees are being used as part of the design rather than being torn down.

-greater danger. This shows that there is much more to the story than one would think by looking at the official images and videos of Neom posted online.

-project is on protecting the environment by implementing methods to conserve as much energy as possible. In terms of the geographical space, I wonder how far this new city will be from Hanoi, as the article does not suggest that it will serve as the country's new capital.

-is that it is planned with the consumer in mind, as a large mall will be the focal point in the centre. Since other new city projects in South Africa have had trouble getting off the ground, I am interested to see if Westown will be the exception.

-schools, mosques and shopping malls across many neighborhoods. What I like about this project is that it is being built on land that is uninhabited; thus, no one will be displaced for this new city.

-to help modernize the country. Within South Sudan, there is disagreement about whether Ramciel will be good or bad. I guess we will have to wait and see if more information will be released by the government.

-Gelephu Mindfulness City will be governed differently, with its own regulations separate from the rest of the country. The article doesn’t give any indication of what the Bhutanese people think of this new project.

This new city sounds like others I’ve read about where the goal is to alleviate congestion and crowding in the current capital. Mongolia will need to rely on outside investors to make New Kharkhorum happen, which comes with its own pros and cons. I’m curious to know what the plans look like.
