According to the Cool City video which we saw last weekm there are several problems that have happened since the industrial revolution started. The video shows some of them like: The population growth - The traffic congestion - The carbon dioxide emissions.
If we don’t find solutions of this problem we will never decrease the CO2 emissions which need to decreased by 50%.
Since 30 years ago the GDP of Japan has doubled and the energy efficiency has increased by 37%, also the oil consumption decreased by 8%. Most of the emissions comes from the buildings & transport.
There are 3 main zones in Cool city:
Business, Commercial or Cultural and Residential.
Cool city provides three types of transportation :
Hybrid cars, Monorail or Light rail and Solar water taxis.
The solutions which the video mentions to reduce the heat with zero CO2 emissions are by planting trees, water ways and roof membranes.
Cool cityks expected CO2 reductions: for eco-towers 50% & for eco-residences 30%.
In my opinion the people in the UAE must change their life same as the lifestyle in the video. As we know the UAE has the highest rate per kead in carbon footprint in the world. Cool city will solve an important problem. Finally, my hope is to change my country to a cool country and it will be a better life for us and the future.
