The island operates as a modular platform, incorporating smart green and biomimetic technologies to function as a living laboratory for sustainable and healthy living. Its gateway, the South Sea Pearl Cruise Terminal, features enveloping geometry and a central hall that reflects the island’s urban DNA, offering visitors a memorable first and last impression.
The polycentric urban model divides the island into eight mixed-use neighbourhoods, each with a distinct character and specialised services. Destinations range from high-end dining with locally grown produce to bio-mimetic labs, fitness activities, and retreats. Movement across the island is facilitated by walkways, driverless cars, and a sky tram, while the Tree of Life Observation Tower provides panoramic views and vertical gardens.
Designated as a City of Play, the island caters to all ages, offering a dense array of leisure amenities. Inspired by the concept of the ‘Fifth Nature,’ it integrates smart agriculture and vegetation, embracing biotech advancements. The island’s design also functions like a Software Development Kit (SDK), enabling rapid development and scalability of new services.
Mobility planning prioritises low-carbon solutions and efficient land use, while resilience strategies ensure security through prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery measures.
