There’s a new town being built in New Mexico – but no one will live there, according to MSN Real Estate.

It’s purposely being constructed as a modern-day ghost town. The town (currently called the Center for Innovation, Testing and Evaluation) will have all the amenities that a real city would have, including houses, businesses and even a mall. Everything would be fully functional with utilities.

The trown is a test bed for energy-efficient innovations. Instead of people, it will have computers to turn the air-conditioning up and down and the liughts on and off and flush the toilets.

Pegasus Global Holdings, an energy and infrastructure adviser, is behind the test town. There is information about the town's plan on YouTube.
