Qatar’s under construction Lusail city will be bigger than Beirut when completed, the Gulf Times has reported.
The multi-billion dollar development will span 35 square km when finished, dwarfing Beirut which covers 19.8 square km, the paper said.
“The population of 455,000 in Lusail will rival that of Luxembourg City which has a population of 491,000.
“Additionally, Lusail’s waterfront of 28km will be seven times longer than that of Monaco which has a shoreline of only 4.1km,” the company said in its first issue of Lusail Newsletter.
The first phase of the city is due to be completed in 2011. It features 17 mixed-use districts connected by a roads and a light rail network.
