Prince Mohammed's first non-profit city is located on a private land owned by the Crown Prince in Aarqa district, along Wadi Hanifa, on an area of ​​about 3.4 square kilometers, which he allocated for the implementation of the project.   

The city's masterplan embodies an advanced, human-focused digital metropolis. The city is also designed to be sustainable and pedestrian-friendly. In addition, more than 44% of the total area is allocated as open green spaces to contribute to the promotion of sustainable development.
