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.

United Arab Emirates plan zero carbon desert city.


The United Arab Emirates has planned to unveil an all-new, zero carbon desert city. Seven Square Kilometres of carless will be designed to 50,000 people. This project is described as "the world's first sustainable city" which is being designed by top Brit architect Lord Foster. Solar solutions will be provided for the energy needs, this will protect the inhabitantants from 50C summer heat. Wind powers will provided by Wind Towers which will give an additional cooling for the desert breeze and prevent the hot air.


While Abu Dhabi one of the richest city in the world, each of its 420,000 inhabitants worth a nominal $17m, they are responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions per capita than any other population in tjhe world. The UAE has announced a $500m deal to manufacture thin-film solar panels in an attempt to clean up this acts.

The Cool City!

Since the industrial Revolution in 1800's till our present day, human kind has been increasing of using carbons. However, if we keep doing this without finding a solution for this problem, we have to replace our world as a new one. Actually, it's impossible for man kind to replace a new world.

The rate of Transportation 35% which caused a lot of traffic problems, building 55% and 10 for others. The result of CO2 emission per GDP Japan is the lowest country and USA is the highest.
Masdar city has been established to prevent that to happen. This city contain Business/public zone, Residential Zone, Resort Zone, Cultural/Sport Zone, Solar Powered Plant abd Jatropna Forest.

Critical Thinking.




Critical Thinking is how people think in an accurate way. You can think critically by hearing and looking closely in what surrounding you.

If you can think critically, you should think deep in yourself. After that, you can say your opinion and assumption.

Looking for evidence is requiring you to think critically. Before you say something you have to look and examine tings, so you can say what you see and look into it to get evidence.

Most people are curios and looking forward to know all of things. This must be critical thinking because you must have the knowledge of what you are thinking in.

Finally, asking yourself and other people hard questions will also make you think critically.

Carbon Footprint

Carbon footprints can be calculated using a Life Cycle Assessment method, or it can be restricted to the immediately attributable emissions from energy use of fossil fuels. The first method would take into account all carbon emissions required to build the car and dispose it. The second would account only for the fossil fuels that resulted from building and dispose it. Further, there's more than one way to run the numbers, depending on how they're going to be used. Everything has a carbon footprint, and each can be measured a couple different ways. Most carbon footprint calculations include all applicable gases, as they all contribute to the greenhouse effect and our persistently warming globe. Carbon footprint calculations generally include energy used to power our homes and transport as well as all the consumables we use on a regular basis. Once you understand, your carbon footprint is, you can start reducing it. There are many sites to calculate your own.
