The district is internationally known for its opulent civic square and monuments and in 2009, made global headlines for having few residents of around 30,000 people, that was considered small relative to the grandeur of the built-up space, and was deemed as a "ghost city". However the district's population has grown since in the years afterwards, and had reportedly reached a size of almost 120,000 people in 2021.
