Cool city

There are some problems that the world is facing and all of them are results of the industrial revolution such as increases in energy consumption, rise in population, increases the amount of and traffic delay. However we need another planet to live in if we don’t stop the impacts of those results.

We need to decrease the amount of the carbon dioxide to 50% to keep our planet. In Japan during the last 30 years GDP has gone up 200% while energy efficiency has increased 37% and oil consumption has decreased 8%. Building and transportation are involved of 90% of the carbon dioxide emitted. (Cool City Video)
Some of the scientists found some cities such as the Cool City as a solution to prevent the pollution by using special energy saving features. And the idea of it came from a Japanese company called Sustainable Development Consortium of Japan. Three types of transportation vehicles will be used there, Light Rail Transit, Solar ships and Hybrid cars. There will be a lot of zones such as residential, culture and business, sport public and resort zone and there will be some reduction technologies like recycled cool air, water and trees.

A country such as UAE needs to have such a city like this, because of the rise in temperatures and the high percentage of humidity, which make people consume massive amounts of energy. (Bradley, 2008)

I think Cool City is a good idea. However, people might not accept this life style due to the luxury life they are living now.
