'Ghost town' being built in US to test new technologies

Terrorism security systems and the latest technologies such as renewable energies are in process to test out the 'ghost town' which is being built in America.

It looks like a normal city with roads, houses and buildings - but no one will live there.


It will cost around £600 million and is being built  in Lea County, New Mexico. Scientists want to use it to see the effects of new technology in a 'real world' setting. Behind the project is a Big tech company, Pegasus Global Holdings. Anything from next-generation and smart grids wireless networks to self-flushing toilets could be tested in the new town.

Robert Brumley from Pegasus said, "The only thing we won't be doing is destructive testing, blowing things up - I hope,"

At the end of June, the work begins!
