A Brilliant Idea "Cool City"

The industrial revolution began in the seventeenth century but there have been some problems associated with economic development. Some of these problems are the rise in population, increase in energy consumption which usually leads to the increase in carbon dioxide emissions to the air and traffic delay. Unfortunately if we didn’t act to solve these problems we would eventually need another Earth to live in, which is impossible. To maintain a sustainable Earth to live in, we need to decrease the carbon dioxide by one-half.

Almost all of the carbon dioxide emissions are coming from “buildings” and “transportation” which form around 90%. It is expected that the buildings will reduce 50% of the carbon dioxide in the air and the residential buildings will reduce 30%. One brilliant solution is to build a model city known as “Cool City” in which various technologies are used to cool the air and reduce the carbon dioxide emissions by 60%. In this model city, hybrid cars are used, water taxi would be available and light mono rails as well. Moreover, the radius of the Cool City would be 1 KM; this will allow us to reach the buildings by walking. The city uses solar farms and it will be surrounded by many trees to hold the sand and prevent sand storms.

There will be various zones in the Cool City like Business, Culture, Sports, Hotel and most importantly Residential. This model city is planned and will be built by an engineers’ organization known as “SDCJ” and it is from Japan.
