Masdar Development, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Foster + Partners

The first project as a result of the Masdar Initiative is a new six million square meter sustainable development that uses the traditional planning principals of a walled city, together with existing technologies, to achieve a carbon neutral and zero waste community. It will suposedly be a centre for the development of new ideas for energy production, but in my opinion has all the makings of an ultra-exclusive resort for the obscenely wealthy.

Clusterfuck to be completed around 2013.

Am I to understand then that the alternative to me destroying the environment is me living in a giant shopping mall? Not keen.
