It is a truly utopian initiative by the Government of Abu Dhabi. Designed by the British architectural firm Foster + Partners, the city will rely entirely on solar energy and other renewable energy sources, with a sustainable, zero-carbon, zero-waste ecology. The city is being constructed 17 kilometres (11 mi) east-south-east of the city of Abu Dhabi, beside Abu Dhabi International Airport.<br /><object height="220" width="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8V7UpFOm8w0&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8V7UpFOm8w0&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="360" height="220"></embed></object><br /><br />for more information about this wonderful project check the <a href="http://www.masdaruae.com/en/home/index.aspx">official website</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8613109184752085342-6827713774231641049?l=theutopiancity.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Utopian Citieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02602193988836526605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613109184752085342.post-54207843716674437922010-04-02T06:30:00.000-07:002010-04-02T07:09:32.655-07:00Another nice movie about city planning.
