The new city of Lusail is located about 12.4 miles (20 km) north of the city centre of Doha. It is one of two sites identified as a smart green city by the Qatari authorities. Designed with sustainable architecture standards, Lusail benefits from investments that improve the environmental footprint. For example, in addition to the trams that run through it, the city manages electricity centrally through a smart grid. This network integrates computer and communication technologies to regulate the flow of electricity and contribute to a balance between production, distribution and consumption. Beyond the construction frenzy linked to the organisation of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, this project meets the environmental objective set by the Qatar National Vision 2030 plan.
