Forest City: An Ambitious and Controversial Vision for the Future

Subtle yet Sophisticated

Forest City is an ambitious integrated residential development and private town located in Iskandar Puteri, Johor, Malaysia. Unveiled in 2016 by Country Garden, China's largest property developer, the 100 billion ringgit (78.9 billion US dollar) mega-project is designed to be a smart and green futuristic city that combines environmental technology and cutting-edge amenities.

A Green and Glistering Paradise

Spanning 30 square kilometers (12 square miles), Forest City is billed as a dream paradise for all mankind. However, it has been primarily aimed at the domestic Chinese market, offering a range of luxury apartments, villas, and commercial properties. The development is massive, covering an area four times the size of Monaco.
