Masdar – the perfect city?

Kamil Kuchta 16. February 2019

Traffic, air polution, lack of access to nature – it is only the beginning of a long list of problems of modern cities. The only way is to plan and build cities using modern technologies and renewable energy. Masdar architects came up with this idea.

When today’s bigest metropolis was built, nobody expected how much modern technologies would change. The architects of that time also did not expect such a natural increase. Honestly, it’s hard to live in such a places nowadays. Clean, self-sufficient energy cities that consume minimum energy, water and fuels. In which there is no place for any waste. – this is the futuristic dream of humanity. One of the richest countries in the world wants to achieve it – United Arab Emirates. It’s funny that the same country is earning its fortune in oil extraction.

Masdar City is a representative project of the Living Planet program of the WWF ecological organization. The city of dreams is to be built according to ten basic assumptions of living in harmony with nature; zero carbon dioxide emission, zero waste, ecological transport, local and ecological materials, local and ecological food, ecologically collected water, natural environment and wild nature, development and cultural heritage, equality and fairness in trade, health and happiness.

Construction of the city has been going on for a year and is to be completed in six years. It cost 15 billion US dollars and it will accommodate 50,000 inhabitants. Masdar (in Arabic “source”) will use only wind, solar and hydrogen cells. No greenhouse gases, waste or cars. Masdar (in Arabic “source”) will use only wind, solar and hydrogen cells. No greenhouse gases, waste or cars. Desert areas are an ideal place: the Arab sheikhs didn’t have any problems with the purchase of plots. In addition, there are strong sun shines all year, which provides “fuel” for solar batteries.

According to calculations, modern “clean” technologies are going to cover one third of the energy needs of this modern city. The remaining two-thirds will have to be saved. Elaborate ventilation and sun protection systems have been developed. Masdar is cut by narrow streets to provide the maximum shade; the buildings are not high, at most five stories high. Masdar has virtually no individual transport planned. There will be pavements and squares on the surface, and the transport will be underground.

“In a growing number of regions around the world, the cost of developing new generating capacity from renewables is cheaper than that of any other source” ~ Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, CEO of Masdar
