Task 6: One Planet Living & Cool Cities

Nowadays modern cities have been developed in variety technique with respect to the UAE’s cities. The development has express both clear and dark enlargement. At the present time, towns need more power for that it will produces more CO2 and heat. For that reason, the developers bring out a fundamental plan to build cool cities by dealing with heat and CO2. From these cities we can reduce the heat and CO2 to the zero. My report will come across the expected function of modern cities; also determine at how modern cities be able to reduce their power utilization and in other hand to reduce their carbon emission. Lastly, it will state my view point of the modern and friendly cities.
First of all, we will appear at how future cities contribute to global warming, one point to concern is with observed to the buildings. For instance, buildings in the UAE don’t have spaces so they don’t provide any shade as well as poor materials used in structure (Younes 2). A further feature to take into reflection is with respect to the transportation. To make clear, the fast growth of UAE’s population leads to boost the numbers of cars used in the country. Due to this reason of energy consumption will increase the carbon dioxide which being release into the atmosphere.
Now let’s turn our attention to suggested solutions as to how they can reduce the level of energy used and the carbon emissions. One main spot is regarding climate control. To clarify, Mr. Hope mentions that sorouh strategy to circulate seawater underground to cool the pavement and benches and the exterior of buildings (Hope 2). One more point valuable of mentioning is how to reduce the carbon dioxide which being emitted by transportation. To clarify, modern cities will utilize a new technology of transportation in the same time it will support people to use them. Furthermore; they will initiate new ways of transporting people from zone to other zones. This method will reduce the quantity of CO2 release into the air. Cool city will use Monorail, Hybrid car, Light rail transit and solar ship (Cool cities).
In conclusion, modern cities have smart technique to reduce carbon emission in the world. Developers are helping people to live in less-polluted cities as a result to reduce global warming. In my outlook I believe these solutions are sensible to decrease the CO2 but for Gulf and Middle East countries can’t change to other resources especially for the oil production.
