Cities of the Future
The new trend in green living is building entire green cities – like Tianjin Eco-City in China, which is a joint project between the Chinese and Singaporean governments to create a completely eco-friendly metropolis.
It’s expected to be up and running by the year 2020 and feature the latest in green technology. People who live in Tianjin will be able to choose which eco-friendly landscape they like, from green to a sun-powered solarscape. The whole city will cover about 30 kilometers and transportation will depend on an advanced lightrail system. And about 350,000 will live in the urban center. What’s more, Tianjin Eco-City will make use the latest sustainable technologies, like solar power, wind power, rainwater recycling, and desalination of sea water to create a smooth-running green paradise.
It’s expected to be a model for the rest of China, but could it also serve as an example for the rest of the world?
