Dubai-based URB to unveil ‘world’s largest net zero community’ in Kuwait

URB, a global leader in developing sustainable cities, is set to launch XZero City, a planned sustainable community providing a net zero carbon lifestyle for 100,000 residents in Kuwait.

The 1,600-hectare development is planned for the southern region of Kuwait to provide 30,000 residential units, as well as 30,000 green jobs, which will be created in various hubs such as medical, tourism, technology, educational, retail and entertainment.

XZERO will promote sustainable tourism through its various eco-friendly hospitality assets, including a 5-star eco-resort and eco-lodges.

The Dubai-based developer said that “the masterplan was designed using passive design strategies, as well as green and blue infrastructure, to create a sustainable development which requires the least financial investment whilst providing the highest environmental gains.”

As a self-sufficient city, XZERO will provide all the resident’s caloric food intake on site through its productive landscape. The city incorporates many different urban farming methods such as community gardens, bio domes, aquaponics, vertical farms & biosaline agriculture. The city will also harvest all the renewable energy needs locally whilst also recycling its waste and water
