There are some problems with economic development since the industrial revolution such as population increase, CO2 emissions and traffic congestion. However if we don’t solve these problems we will need another planet to live which is totally impossible. In addition we have to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide by 50% in the air.
In the last 30 years GDP (Gross Domestic Product) in Japan has rocketed by 100%, while oil consumption has fallen 8% and energy efficiency increased by 37%.
Two things which mainly cause carbon dioxide, 90% into the air are buildings and transportation.
Cool City is an environmentally friendly city which tries to decrease the CO2 emissions into the air. The city is built by SDCJ which is a Japanese company. Cool City has three types of transportation, water taxis, hybrid cars and light transit rail. There are also three main zones in the city which are business, commercial/cultural and residential (where people live). Some of the techniques which are followed by the city to reduce heat are tree-planting, waterways and rooftop membranes. From the two types of the building it is expected CO2 reduction of 50% in eco towers and 30% in eco residences. Finally the general reduction of CO2 emissions will reach 60%.
Opinion
In my opinion I think that the Cool city is an excellent city because it focuses on the environment and things related to our planet like carbon dioxide and pollution. I believe that other countries around the world should build cities like Cool city, so we can live a good healthy life, but there is no care of our planet. I hope there will be a change of thinking to build cities like Cool city.
