Satellite town

English to Arabic Other Other Urban Planning
The scale of the challenge was so great that it would have far-reaching consequences for housing, roads, industry and employment, as well as for water and energy. Nearly a quarter of a million new housing units would be required and whole new satellite towns were planned, to be constructed on the coast between Kuwait City and Fahaheel and on the south side of Ahmadi.

مدينة ذاتية الاكتفاء

A satellite town or satellite city is a concept of urban planning, although many satellite cities and towns appeared spontaneously near many metropoleis. Satellite towns are smaller municipalities that are adjacent to a major city which is the core of a metropolitan area. They differ from mere suburbs, subdivisions and especially bedroom communities in that they have municipal governments distinct from that of the core metropolis and employment bases sufficient to support their residential populations. Conceptually, satellite cities could be self-sufficient communities outside of their larger metropolitan areas.
