The futuristic city to come up on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi will meet its entire energy requirements from renewable sources, producing neither carbon dioxide nor waste.
Masdar City is to be constructed on a six square km area, 30 km east of the capital Abu Dhabi. It is designed to support a population of about 50,000.
The planned carbon-neutral city will be supplied entirely by renewable energy. It will use systematic recycling techniques and will be nearly waste-free. In addition, the city will have significantly reduced water consumption.
Thanks to an underground transportation system, this eco-friendly city will have car-free streets.
On June 21, Fraunhofer Gesellschaft (Germany) and the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, representing the Masdar City Project, signed a cooperative agreement for a strategic partnership.
The goal is to establish a close cooperation in the field of sustainable urban development and building planning, said a release from Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft.
