Cool Cities




Year after year the environment suffers more and more from human pollution. There are many solutions to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gasses and one of the best ways is SDJC cities. The gulf government is interested in making cool cities because of the population growth and to help reducing greenhouse gasses.

These cities will contain central business, public zone, residential zone, sport zone and the resort zone. All these zones will be powered by solar power plant so it will reduce burning fossil fuel to get energy, its clean and renewable. The rooms will have roofs which can be operated depends on the weather so if its winter then it uses the fresh air but in summer it will close to decrease the heat. Transportation will depend on hybrid cars and public transportation like monorail and light rail transit. So two ways to transport either using environmental friendly way or using public transportation, so each way will reduce the amount of CO2 produced.

I think that this step doesn’t help the environment much, because few cities will be built and population will grow so if we calculate we’ll realize that the greenhouse gasses is increasing and we wasted a lot of money to build these cities. Another thing is these cities are using modern technology, so we don’t know for how long they can really operate and we don’t know how much they are effective.
