Abu Dhabi and the World Wildlife Fund has planned to launch their planned ‘Masdar City’, which will be home to 50,000 people, and which they hope will be the world greenest city: zero-carbon, zero-car, zero-waste. Sewage will be treated and used for irrigation. Water will come from a solar-powered desalination plant. Photovoltaic cells will also provide electricity for the city. This is by-far the greenest news I’ve come across as it aims to meet or exceed a set of stringent sustainability goals established under the ‘One Planet Living’. Masdar City is set to question conventional patterns of urban development, and set new benchmarks for sustainability and environmentally friendly designs.
