Still, it would seem strange for any state or private investor to bet all their capital on projects in Kuwait, i.e. with a civil war raging still in Iraq—only miles from the “Silk City” investment site (and only a 50 to 100 miles from Iranian waters).
Moreover, as a lowland country, Kuwait is likely to be effected adversely by rising sea levels from global warming than many other nations around the world are. (Perhaps this is why, in fact, a whole new city is needed in the future.)
Nonetheless, like the builders of the Tower of Babel or the World Trade Towers, the designers of the Silk City project are prepared to move forward in this turbulent time and in a turbulent corner of the globe and build a leisure and trade center that the northern end of the Persian Gulf could certainly use as a development anchor for years to come.
If peace through infrastructural development is possible, perhaps this project should be attempted—even where the war-torn states of Kuwait, Iraq and Iran come together.
