Qatar government plans to pump in QR1 billion ($274 million) over the next five years towards beautification of capital Doha and for other infrastructure development activities to make it a smart city, said a report.
The development of Doha city includes the demolition of old buildings and broadening of streets, in addition to the urban development of neighbourhoods, reported the Gulf Times, citing a senior minister.
"There is also a great interest in developing the towns on the outskirts of the city," said Mohamed bin Abdullah Al Rumaihi, the Minister of Municipality and Environment.
