It will serve as an international hub for organisations focussed on clean technology and renewable energy. The city has been designed with sustainability at its core, which has been incorporated in the planning, design, transportation, energy and waste management to make the city one of the most energy efficient in the world. The project is being developed in seven phases. It includes the construction of Masdar Institute of Sciences and Technology MIST , Masdar headquarters, hotel and conference centre, a retail district, innovation centres, offices, residential units, and research and development facilities.
It is oriented in a northeast-southwest direction, which minimises solar gain and enables the use of cool winds generating during the night. Masdar City will integrate all aspects of city life, including residence, work, and recreation in close proximity, thereby minimising transportation. It is designed to be pedestrian friendly and will include narrow shaded streets, walkways and paths. These walkways will provide protection from the sun, reduce the need for air conditioning and encourage walking.
The majority of the buildings will be low-rise with no more than five storeys thereby minimising energy usage. All buildings will optimise the use of natural light, feature low-energy lighting, insulation and glazing to minimise energy use. It is expected to attract , visitors a day. Energy required by the city will be supplied by renewable sources. The city is currently being powered by a 10MW solar PV plant.
In the future, the city will also be supplied with offsite renewable energy. Solar panels are also being used to provide domestic hot water. To minimise water usage, efficient fixtures and appliances will be used. All wastewater will be treated and reused for landscaping. Waste generated by the city will be sorted at source and recycled for use. Unsorted waste will be used to generate electricity in a waste to energy plant. Public transportation within the city will be provided by electric buses and cars.
Use of automated single cabin personal rapid transit PRT is also being proposed. Malaysia Petronas University of Technology. Sweden New Slussen Masterplan. Recently Completed. Under Construction.
