Sultan Haitham City to incorporate smart technologies

Muscat will witness urban expansion with its smart city development

Oman is planning to develop a smart city that can accommodate 100,000 residents. In a plan exclusively shared by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) with CNN, the city will be located on an undeveloped site in Al-Seeb, a coastal area to the northwest of Muscat. SOM is a US architecture firm, with Burj Khalifa as one of their notable works.

Oman’s Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning describes the development as Muscat’s “urban expansion.” A mass transit system is set to connect the new city to the Omani capital.
