Masdar City Fly-Through
Loading...
Uploaded by MasdarFutureEnergy on Mar 4, 2009
In February 2008, Masdar broke ground on Masdar City, the worlds first carbon-neutral, zero-waste city, which will be completed in seven phases by 2016. Among the technologies deployed in the City, electricity will be generated by PV panels and cooling provided via CSP. Water will be supplied through a solar-powered desalination plant. Landscaping within the City and crops grown outside the walled city will be irrigated with grey water and treated waste water produced by the Citys water treatment plant.
The City will grow eventually to 1,500 businesses, 40,000 residents and 50,000 commuters, and will be home to international corporations and top minds in the field of sustainable and alternative energy. Masterplanned by renowned architecture firm Foster + Partners, Masdar City will be built on six square kilometres, of which 30 percent will be zoned for housing; 24 percent for a business and research district; 13 percent for commercial purposes and light manufacturing; six percent for the Masdar Institute; 19 percent for service and transportation; and finally, eight percent for civic and cultural pursuits.
The potential for Masdar City is enormous sustainable industries, green jobs, new and renewable sources of energy that neither pollutes nor contributes to climate change.

nice vid - unfortunately a desertcity gaining it`s energy from geothermal power doesn`t make much sense because it creates a microclimate hotter than before...
What does the city cost per resident anyway ?
