MASDAR Smart City “realistic post carbon path to sustainable developments”.
MASDAR SMART CITY DESIGN COMPETITION
The Smart City E- Zone is a Sustainable, Post Carbon, totally self sufficient community that generates its own electrical power, supplies its own drinking water and processes its own sewage.
The most advantageous locations for Smart City E- Zones are in or close to the world’s coastal cities. These include mega business centers like New York and Singapore and also comprise today’s ever growing retirement resorts like Miami and Bali. In all of these places by the sea we find an abundance of sun, wind, waves and currents. Studies have shown that the optimum way to Harness these 4 sources of green energy is to dedicate the environmental interaction of a floating platform to the task of capturing all 4 Coastal cities that need to increase the size of their most commercial areas, can do so without pursuing costly landfill projects that take many years, but instead construct in far less time and at far less expense an anti-roll semi submersible platform that will enlarge their city center and not be subject to the flooding we saw in New York City caused by extreme weather and hurricane storm surges
It should be said that the Smart City E- Zone community is not just a futuristic dream, but a realistic post carbon path to sustainable developments . As with all the technology that impacts our lives, the expectation of future technological advances shouldn’t prevent us from obtaining existing well priced, well established, readily available technology that is clearly beneficial to everyone at this crucial time for mankind.
The Smart City E – Zone Marina Condotel shown here is the smallest Prototype of a completely self sufficient, multiple dwelling that is simple and cost effective to construct, highly efficient, and as a commercially viable exercise will promote the global advancement of smart city E- Zone developments.
