Masdar, 2014: The Greenest City in the World
      

One of the more fascinating projects in the world of urban planning is Masdar City in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It will be an sustainable municipality with zero-carbon and zero-waste relying completely on renewable sources.

Cars will be banned, and a personal rapid transit system will replace them, running on batteries powered by solar energy.  Streets in Masdar City will be flanked by tall buildings to shade most of the city and minimize need for air conditioning.

The city is scheduled for completion near 2014.
