Task 6 Cool City


There is a corporation of 12 organizations called SDCJ and they want to build a clean city. These companies want to build a city that has clean air to benefit people. We saw a video in the class with our teacher about the Cool City and now I will write about this video which talks about the city.


However, there is also a solution to reduce the huge amount of CO2. The solution is to build Cool cities. Cool cities use the natural energy to reduce carbon. Also this city has zero carbon emissions. The Japanese have created this idea and they are working on it now. Also there is another city in the UAE and it is called Masdar city. They have started the project of Masdar city now and the location for this city is in Abu Dhabi. In Cool cities there are three types of transportation and these three types have zero carbon emission. In Cool city there are no cars, buses and trains. People will use only hybrid vehicles and water transportation. Also they use effective techniques to reduce heat by a lot of trees and canals. In addition, they use the wind to keep the city cool and build shaded areas to reduce the heat and people can walk anytime in shaded areas (Cheung.P).


In my opinion, the idea that SDCJ came up with, will help people to be healthy and protect the environment. The UAE is making a great step toward the future.
