In addition to commercial and residential housing, the project will also include a “Skypark”, an enclosed green area where outdoor climates are replicated indoors. Visitors to the Skypark will experience a wide range of natural habitats from sand dunes, swamps, waterfalls and canyons.

A structure as enormous as the Downtown Circle will require modern transportation systems to move occupants and visitors swiftly around the circle and this will be accomplished by a fleet of peripheral pods that would be available for passengers to travel from one part of the structure to another.
