Masdar: Abu Dhabi's carbon-neutral city
By Tom Heap
This article relates to the topic of conservation of energy. The purpose of designing this city is to lower emissions.
The are covered is Masdar, United Emirates.
The world's first zero-carbon city is being built in Abu Dhabi and is designed to be not only free of cars and skyscrapers but also powered by the sun. The oil-rich United Arab Emirates is the last place you would expect to learn lessons on low-carbon living, but the emerging eco-city of Masdar could teach the world. They have built the biggest solar farm in the Middle East to power the city and to offset the inevitable burning of diesel and baking of cement in construction. they have magnetic pod-cars that substitute the need for gasoline.
I think that this city is a perfect model for other cities to look at and take ideas from to create a more eco-friendly way of living.
Abu Dhabi-is the capital of, and the second largest city in the United Arab Emirates. Abu Dhabi lies on a T-shaped island jutting into the Persian Gulf from the central western coast.
