I wish good luck to that project. Building a new town is not an easy job, there are many public projects trying to do that like Masdar in Abu Dhabi and they have failed. On the other hand this project is much more modest and that is good, a slow start allows more flexibility to issue problems than trying to build thousand of apartments at once.

Here in Spain we have hundreds of abandoned willages and I would like to see initiatives like this on them. Unfortunately I think our government is too conservative for considering supporting this type of projects. The only think their closed minds are considering for fighting rural depopulation is to close city councils and merge towns.
