Abstract :
The paper mentions that as oil-rich Abu Dhabi builds the ´world´s greenest´ city, carbon-heavy China has designs on an eco-friendly metropolis. Exactly when the world decided eco-villages just weren´t big enough is difficult to gauge, but for today´s environmentally friendly developments, size is everything. Forget any ideals of holistic living and group-hugs; the present-day eco-city is big, bold, sophisticated and requires a lot of cash.
