One of the main purposes of the city is to find out what works and what doesn't. This experiment will continue even after the city is completed in eight years; "innovation hubs" throughout the city will test new technologies, including some developed at the new Masdar Institute of Science and Technology. The school is being developed in partnership with MIT, which is selecting faculty and designing curricula.

They have MIT on board re the school, which is smart.
The experimental city is an incredibly wise and forward thinking move, for which the folks in Abu Dhabi should be congratulated.
