Dongtan, a subset of Shanghai that is roughly the size of Manhattan, will soon be turned into China’s very own Green City. Along with Shanghai’s growing population comes a multitude of environmental concerns i.e. polluted water and skies, which is the main reason for creating this bubble of health consciousness on the outskirt of the city. Currently a wildlife preserve, it is reported by Wired Magazine that Dongtan will be:
“…a city powered by local, renewable energy, with super-efficient buildings clustered in dense, walkable neighborhoods; a recycling scheme that re-purposes 90 percent of all waste; a network of high tech organic farms; and a ban on any vehicle that emits CO2.”
Now if we could only get the rest of the world to follow suit
