Just a note, EcoVillage is alright but a brief correction on location. EcoVillage is NOT located on the Cornell Campus (that would be far to convienient). It is NOT easily accessible by car (there’s a bus stop about 1/4 mile down the road with inbound and outbound stops 3 times a day at the top of a very large hill about a mile from the center of town). In building, there were large amounts of rock brough in from locations quite far away… There is also essentially no affordable housing there unless you get lucky with a housesitting gig. If this is the future of green, only the rich will get to have the “clean” consciences. Cheers.

Thanks for this. This is a really interesting one because the UAE is just about the most wasteful nation on earth (higher footprint per capita by far than the USA). A lot of people are grasping for insight on the implications (if many or if any) of this project. Watch for an interview coming soon with Richard Register which examines Masdar in more detail.

The United Arab Emirates are build a massive state of the art eco city from scratch, they’ll be using lots of solar panels and the city won’t have any cars, people will move around in magnetic taxi-like pods (rapid transport vehicles).
