RGI, which plans to build three kindergartens and two schools on the site of the Micro city, said that it has started the preparation for the construction work and expects to begin building in the fourth quarter of this year. The launch is estimated to be 2014.

"RGI aims to create not only a modern development for future generations, but also introduce a dramatically different concept of a comfortable and harmonious family environment. In keeping with this aim, the kindergarten is going to overlook the existing woodland that will remain untouched, and will comprise a walking area and shaded alleys for the use of both parents and children," the company said.
