Can homes be built without adding to global warming? Though it sounds impossible, London’s first mini ‘eco city’ is being planned with an aim to challenge this and is likely to be built in Newham with 1,000 homes.
Proposal by Greenpeace, this project will be moved by London Development Agency along with the British engineering firm Arup.
Stephen Tindale, executive director of Greenpeace, remarked:
Once again London is leading the way in the UK and Ken Livingstone is showing what can be done when a politician has the drive to turn aspirations into action. It’s time central government took note of what is happening across the Thames.
Unveiling this project plan, Ken Livingstone, the mayor of England said;
London’s zero-emissions development will demonstrate that we can also realise this kind of vision in Europe and that it is affordable and achievable to make all major new developments low-carbon.
