Part 7/8:
Sri Lanka is also building a massive artificial island project, the Colombo Port City, with the aim of creating a special economic zone to attract foreign companies and investors by 2030. The $15 billion project will feature five districts, including a business center, luxury residential areas, and amenities such as a park and marina.
The project is seen as a significant gamble for Sri Lanka, which has been experiencing a slowdown in economic growth and a rise in poverty rates in recent years. If successful, the Colombo Port City could truly change the country's economic landscape.
