Abu Dhabi builds sustainable city.


The United Arab Emirates is about to build the world's first sustainable city which designed by British architect Norman Foster, in an expanse of gray rock and dust on Earth. The site will be far from a polluted sea, a fierce sun raises temperatures to 50C in the summer, no fresh water, no soil and no animals. Tens of billions of petro-dollars will be poured into these sites of Km2 on the desert on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi. The walled city wil have house that 50,000 people will intend with 1,500 business. The majority of which will be solar energy, as it will have no cars and be self-sufficient in this renewable energy.


The wind towers that collect the desert's breezes and flush out hot air, will cool the buildings that huddles together. The city is to be oriented northeast to southwest to give the optimum balance of sunlight and shade. As a result of that, No building will be more than five stories high.

i think when this project is done, it will have a lot of advantages in this future.

Being far away from the polluted sea, having no cars, and depending on the sun for energy will result in a very healthy city.

I really do hope this project goes well for the future of our country.
