At the recent World Future Energy Summit, the government of Abu Dhabi announced plans to create a city of the future - a sustainable city. The intention is to have a zero waste, zero carbon city. The job of designing this city goes to a British company, Foster and Partners.
Masdar City will be a walled city for a population of 40,000 residents. Outside the perimeter walls, land will be used to produce renewable energy for the city and any extra will, for the first time in the Middle East go back to the national grid. There will also be an underground rapid transport system to provide transport into and around the city, as it will be inaccessible by car or other vehicles.
