Cool City

Cool City, being promoted by the Sustainable Urban Development Consortium for Japan and Gulf States Partnership, will incorporate 'green' technology in transport, urban development and architecture with a low carbon footprint.
Since we start of the industrial revolution we start to face many problems such as earth environmental issues which include raise in population, traffic delays, and increase in use of energy and these can cause to raise the carbon dioxide level on the earth. If we continue living these life style we will need another earth to replace our own, but we know it’s impossible to replace it, so we have to live in one earth and decrease level of carbon dioxide by one half which is know by cool earth 50. During 30 years ago Japan has improved energy efficiency by 37 % and oil consumption has decrease 8%. Over 90% of carbon dioxide emitted into the air comes from buildings and transportation. Then the SDCJ which consist of 11 corporation come together to solve these problem. they have reach to an idea that will use an natural energy, which is known as Cool City, so ill explain about it.Cool city contain a special residential herbs will be connected to cool city by public transportation. The city will have a radius of only 1 KM from the purpose transportation terminal complex which is centrally located and one can comfortably walk anywhere in the area. You can move around by a (LRT) light real transit, hybrid car or solar ships.
The makeup of the cool city is consist of central business and public zone around which residential zone, across the canal lies a green band with a culture, sport zone and the resort zone. Around the city there will be solar powered plant farms surrounded by jatropha trees to prevent sand shifting. Cool city will use the natural energy. In addition cool city will have a bundle of trees and water not only for attractive, but for the decrease the heat. The main transport system used is monorail station, light rail transit station, water transportation system and hybrid car parking. Cool city is a city which can reduce carbon dioxide by 60% as well as we have a wonderful life style.

So, I think this project was a good idea to reduce carbon dixide level, which is better for the earth. we as the humans have to help in reduce the Co2 and work harf to educate properly and know what can cuse damage to our planet.
