Cool City

We watched a video which is about Cool City project. A lot of environmental problems appeared such as climate change and many other problems; those problems came because of the economic development, traffic and population growth. If we want to solve this issue we need a new earth; we have to reduce 50% of carbon dioxide emissions to live in a single earth. In Japan over the past 30 years GDP has gone up 100% and energy efficiency has increased 37% while oil consumption has decreased 8%. Buildings and transport produce about 90% of carbon dioxide into the air. Cool City is a huge project which is about a green environment with high technology buildings and transport and the main benefit is a very small amount of carbon dioxide emissions. The SDCJ (Sustainable Urban Development Consortium for Japan) are a group of Japanese companies. The three main types of transportation are hybrid cars, trains and water taxis. Residential, Commercial and Business are the three zones in the city. The climate of the Gulf region is very hot so they will build a special wall around the city to reduce the heat. The overall percentage of reduction of CO2 is 60%.

In my point of view, the project of course is a great idea but the important question is when the project will finish? After 50 years?, There will be people to live in this city without any problems.
