Urban future

Cities are famously bad for the environment. They are heavy polluters. They cover the countryside with concrete. They make people stressed. In 2030, 60 percent of the world’s population will live in cities. If cities stay the same, this will be an environmental disaster. However, some people in China are predicting a different future. By 2030, in Dongtang, on Chongmin island near Shanghai, half a million people will live in a city that is good for the environment – one that is environmentally-friendly. They will live in a green city. The main changes will be in the urban areas. All the buildings in Dongtang will produce their own electricity from solar and wind power. There will be no petrol cars, only electric ones, and all the homes will only be seven minutes away from public transport. There will be many canals in the city, and solar-powered water taxis will take people around the city. The planners have also thought about the green spaces. All residents will live near small parks and there will be grass and plants on the roofs of most buildings. There will be farms on the island that use organic methods. The plan is that this island city will produce all the food that it needs and that there will be large areas of open countryside.

This project won’t be cheap. It might cost 100 billion dollars. However, China needs to change the way its cities work. There is no future for polluted and polluting cities. The green cities will improve the quality of life for the residents.

They will breathe clean air, they will live in a quiet city. Just imagine how quiet the city will be without petrol cars. (World of Future)
