THE municipality of Kuwait City has signed an agreement with Canada’s Malone Given Parsons to redesign the masterplan for the proposed City of Silk and Bubiyan Island developments. 

The work will involve using the original Subiya urban plan, upgraded by Gulf Consult in partnership with other firms in 2004, and the Silk City masterplan, proposed in 2006, to create a suitable new masterplan for the proposed offshore developments. Work on the masterplan is due to begin, and the designs are set to be completed in 12 months.
