Masdar City Ariel Fly Through

[carlsm95]

The reason the Arabs can build this is 1) they have billions of dollars of oil money. What are they gonna do when oil stops being the worlds #1 source of fuel? and 2) most of the desert is uninhabited meaning you can build practically anything you want. It's still an amazing city though. I want to see something like this in the West, preferably the US.

[Iguana93]

@carlsm95 Also.. obviously the project would be built by various contractors from around the world, so it really is just about the money. And self sufficient as it may be, the resources to build such a city from scratch probably outweigh the resources of a comparable city over a few decades. The project is also irreplicable anywhere where there isn't straight sunshine and 40 degrees Celsius all the time. Not to say it doesn't look amazing, but I'm very doubtful about the feasibility.

Do you finally get your lightsaber right away in this one, or do you have to wait till halfway through the game again?

This is the future!

[MeierTV]

LOL! too bad the Gulf of Omar is going to be up in flames by 2015, this city is going to be OVERRUN with refugees from Iran.

Utopia my ass

[RYANRpRODUCtions]

Very nice.

[Corrosive1]

looks good, i think :)

[demaru56]

atleast the price on gas has justification. what about taxes...

[H1TMANactual]

Future but women can't show their face LOL. Intellectually backwards land. It's all financed by oil. None of it is created by Arabs

[karim3343]

@H1TMANactual Your an idiot, Masdar City is a project in Abu Dhabi, a part of the UAE. The united arab emirates is not stringent on the hijab, that is saudi arabia. Check your facts before calling one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world 'backwords'

[marshall503]

this just goes to further prove the earths crude oil is drying up. check to see how far along they are on this, just a bunch of cheesy graphics and a song and dance.

[Wakeuponearth]

Take us there

[dgt0077]

this """"""ECOLOGYC"""""" City is the PRISON of the furure,go there people like a "sheeps in massacre"!!!

[foreverjeanfjb]

someone help me- ı need this video to introduce in my lesson. how can ı download it? thank you

[bambarus]

I Work at Masdar City, and Im an ARAB. this is for all the idiots trying to take the credit away from the arabs for the most futuristic city in the world, Masdar City!

[foreverjeanfjb]

@bambarus

hello friend, ı need this video to introduce in the lesson. how can ı download it or do you have another videos that you can send me?

thanks

[NormanSolarSurfer]

The Aerial fly and Walk through of this stage project is a lot of professionals Women & Men work hours plus the realization of all that systems working together, is a big effort for Human Kind

[HBK1337]

so theire gonna have maglev cars?? because it looks like that car at 1:01 is levitating

[vaporose]

Every one of the plants should be edible and used for something. People should be using the plants as their shelter, food, and life. This whitewashed walls, no dirt thing is not very appealing except to the super elite and to those who wish to be super elite. This is just another resort community to cater to the super elite where the bodies of the poor get buried in places that noone will ever see them.

[dekun007]

yes.....

my dreams are coming true !

thx allah ;)

[rivier4]

They don't take foreigners as citizens. Funny that a desert country can be self sustaining and take care of their own people. Why can't we?

[goodbyestangeles]

@rivier4 uhh.. yeah they do

[noxure]

@rivier4 They are not. Projects are mainly developed by foreign engineers. UAE has an illiteracy rate of 25%! Which is ridiculous for such a rich country (Vietnam has only 5%). They have 'the best' colleges and universities, but no teachers.

Only 19% of the population are Emirati, the rest are immigrants from southern Asia, Iran, Syria etc... doing all the work at minimal wages.

Like ancient Rome, it's one big facade. Super rich people, living a lie.

[WingOnTheWorld]

كما استطاع العم سام بشركاته بناء لاس فيغاس في قلب صحراء نيفادا هاهو اليوم يستعرض محولا عالمنا مسرحا لاكاذيبه التي ستبقى مثالا على مايستطيع...!

هل سيسمح الطاغوت بخراب مصانعه القذرة بهكذا طاقة يملكها العالم الخانع تحت حذائه

[ISIpaki]

I will be happy to live there provided that Gays are not allowed in that city. That should be the world's first gay free city.

[goodbyestangeles]

The two things about this city I find distasteful:

1) They will never be able to produce their own food in that climate, forever depending on imports from around the world.

2) The amount of raw materials being used to construct the project is insane. Sure I'd rather see the materials going into sustainable structures instead of any other energy consuming apartment that will be torn down in 10 years.

But if they could used recycled building materials, that would be more settling.

[goodbyestangeles]

Women wearing headscarves and the technology of a carbon free, waste free city are not related. It should be noted that a woman living in UAE has the freedom to live / work / study in any country of the world she wants. Masdar is not pushing sharia law and neither is Abu Dhabi, which has a relatively liberal law system. I mean come on, it's managed by CH2M HILL, an American organization.

I attended a presentation by one of the heads of CH2M Hill who said most of the residents will be foreign.

[TheApokaluptein]

If they're going to do this, they should look at the venus project designs. Which are the only plans for the future I have ever seen that make sense.

[StylosetPapier]

If this city was so "futuristic", it would not show women wearing veils.

[mrocean21]

What you going to do about it? Import democracy into their country and make it futuristic like you done in Iraq and Afghanistan. If you don't like the native peoples culture then by all means don't go there.

[kmarinas86]

The Sims 5

[janetbratter]

But if this beautiful visionary place turns out to be run by sharia law then you can kiss freedom and real civilization goodbye. That is my major doubt about this place, not to mention the "square" architecture. Who really wants to live in a computer chip? Visionaries like Frank Lloyd Wright and Buckminster Fuller saw that natural forms are based on curves, not on right angles.

[testing88534]

Dubai is in the shitter. Time to go to Abu Dhabi!

[EnergyMotors]

verry good side!!!

look my new side EnergyMotors

[mioladocrazy]

but this will be a close city. that is the problem in can only get in by the train. this is impossible in a normal big city. there are needs of commercial, trade,

[caballerooop]

The City of My Dreams.... totally awsome!! =)

[willbraham]

I want to rollerblade through it

[willbraham]

This will be a very culturally diverse city.

Many Asians, Indians, and wealthy european nations.

[Kyle15bitch]

the first steps to a unified human culture, I always wondered why do we fight each other when an even deadlier enemy has its sights on us....the universe

[09danette]

solamente guauuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!

[ranndino]

Very cool project. Will follow its progress.

[woboin]

Can someone tell me where the food will come from? Especially the meat. Thanks

[totehose01]

The Sense of this Project ist the carbon-neutrality. Meat doesn´t generate carbon

[Rimber6]

The project may still know some flaws, but eventually all who support projects alike will benefit.

[sclovin]

How exactly can a city with that much open water for decoration & that much greenery built in the middle of a desert be called Zero-Carbon & Zero-Waste. The sheer effort required to grow lush lawns and create over-sized swimming pools is a huge waste of resources and energy. That city isn't trying to live within the parameters of the Earth at that location. It's trying to re-engineer the Earth to fit some artist's conception of an earthly paradise.

[Rimber6]

I believe you are confusing luxury and ecology.

As long as what you build has no carbon emissions, there is no problem.

[geoffreyphilip]

Its all really good, but when oil runs out, west will get out and without any security terrorist will destroy the whole place by bombing this. how sad, jus wait and see thats what will happen. Masdar is just so beautiful, cant wait to go there for a visit.

[Rimber6]

You don't know anything, so don't bother others with your words of waste.

[geoffreyphilip]

Dude I know more than you. Even Obama will say that middle east is doomed, ofcourse he wont say it in public. Everyone knows it, except u. so I'd suggest if u dont have anything meaningful to this convo, u shut up.

[Rimber6]

Your insults and Ron Kenoly collection certainly prove you are right.

[xenia4sl]

Why can only west build their dream projects without fear or reservations? Lets build our own dreams too...

[revbuttnuggett]

Obame, the jewish agent??? or should I say your brother???

[mikhasya1976]

Amazing but this paradise only for rich people, so its not a solution, cause we need to take care about all civilization.

check out the venus project.

[Rimber6]

1. New projects of this magnitude always start expensive, generally after 20-30 years the average person can buy them.

2. The venus project has absolutely no logics and is a concept of dreams.

[revbuttnuggett]

2. just like your parents had no foresight, otherwise they would have gone to see a movie instead of having you

[goodbyestangeles]

@mikhasya1976

Consider, though, how the rich are the ones who consume the most of all social classes. They have more cars, drive them however much they want without care of how much fuel they are wasting, have larger houses that require much more energy to operate, and they consume more food. I believe this is a step in the right direction... making conservation and sustainability the new trend as opposed to conspicuous consumption.

[MrChronicjones]

@mikhasya1976 Agreed, but im sorry the venus project is stupid. That guy is a crazy old hippie who thinks he knows everything best.

[Keitaro2011]

@mikhasya1976 Who says this can't be a precursor to larger green cities?

[hughtub]

@mikhasya1976 "Cars are only for the rich, we need to take care about all civilization" "iPads are only for the rich, we need to take care about all civilization" "[insert any great idea that was only first affordable by the rich] are only for the rich, we need to take care about all civilization"... it's BS. The rich get the worst version of a product and pay the highest cost for it (think 80s brick cell phones). The world reaps the benefits of the wealthy's disposable income.

[abdelgeleel]

Its amazing!!! Go Arabs, build the worlds future

[ajbauto]

@abdelgeleel  with your money

[NOMeasureA2008]

It looks like a computer chip from the air; perhaps subjects in a monarchy don't mind. Are the cement plants and steel plants for the rail transit zero carbon? Solar is good for such a desert. Only the elite can pollute? What about the farts from the goat meat?

[andrewada]

The bigest problem with this design is it looks like what it is: 100% planning and 0% "evolution". I don't know if I could handle spending my life inside a giant hotel.

What they need are fundamentally different design themes (to create contrasting atmospheres), less sterility and less in-your-face grandure. It needs less "impact" and more livablity.

[smart545]

I live in dubai and i work on MASDAR.

MIST is the first to be delivered..

[MatobecerrO]

what is MIST

[smart545]

MIST is ( Masdar Institute of Science and Technology ) I will upload a video on MIST...

[ha55a5]

we hooooooope to develop our earth!!

and that is a good step>>

[halooooom]

The reason it's carbon neutral and waste free is because it does not exist. This is a video, duh!

It just looks like Centre Parks - enough to drive you crazy in 2 weeks. Where is the culture?

Other than that looks good, when can we move in?

[cpdp999]

My dads working on that

[Kingtut90sKid]

Needs a middle-eastern theme or it will be just like another Japanese city.

[leighton999]

Yeah I think the Japanese will build one sooon

[wedel84]

where can you find this animation in an better quallity? would be great for my presentation ;)

[Hasisy]

I am living in Abu dhabi ... I noe about this project and i have owned the residence in Masdar

[alwaystheretrading]

The animation was great, looks like it took a lot of work. The editing was fantastic, and it told the story of the place quite well. A few critiques... The leaves blowing past the wind mill are going the wrong direction. Those PRT vehicles should be running in a track way, not on the open road. The trains have no overhead wires or apparent power source underneath. The roofs of some of your buildings are floating about 10 feet above the top of the walls.

[mstrsam]

hopefully those are solar panel trains. :)

[fiercefunky]

those aren't roofs, those are the over head panels that look like leaves that collect solar energy from above and moisture from below.

[alwaystheretrading]

Whatever they are, there is nothing holding them up.

[WiseguyCapra]

excellent project! Amazing to see how the UAE will be the first to build a fully economical city using renewable energy. A++

Don#t think it be ready before 2012 though.

[boner266]

Just saw this video at a Ch2mhill-OMI project manager meeting. Good Job.

[architeria1939]

but we have hell working hours... working round the clock.. 7 dayas a week.. and 3 hours sleep every day!

[00Micki00]

wow! thats real cool/ how long did it take to make?!

[Merlin3167]

grats to foster+partners..great work:)
