The Masdar Initiative is an interesting concept by the government of Abu Dhabi + the magic mix and match of international joint ventures will develop 'The Masdar Sustainable City' that will produce no greenhouse gases and contain no cars + components will also include the world's largest hydrogen power plant + all energy will come from renewable resources, principally solar panels to generate electricity + buildings will be constructed to allow air in but keep the Sun's heat out + wind towers will ventilate homes and offices using natural convection.

I think it's a brilliant idea + I hope other emerging economies will follow Abu Dhabi's concept and develop sustainable cities.
