Referring to the new 'light' type of decentralised infrastructure, this vision proposes an invisible CO2-emmisison free development in some valleys in the Saudi desert.
City of Clouds is an ever growing living laboratory, foreseen to master the technical and social challenges arising in qualitative, sustainable desert living – and thus paving the way for a knowledge society.
Cities are the human attempt to create a man-made paradise where technical means substitute natural resources. Air, Water and light are highly valued as the affordances of a landscape become increasingly appropriated and densified for economic purposes.
Each Cloud City will embody and enhance the distinct urban qualities of its location to form compact tranquil oasis-like city spaces that offer a unique resort-style combination of living and working.
Urban quality will be the result of environmentally driven mixed use development including work, recreational and leisure activities, private and public facilities all connected by a central promenade of public buildings.
