Cool City



After watching the “Cool City” video, we understand that there has been many problems since the start of economic development, such as CO2 emissions and population pressure. If we don’t solve these problems we’ll suffer very much, we have to reduce all CO2 by atleast 50%. 


In Japan, GDP has increased by up to 100%, energy efficeny was increased by 37% and oil consumption has been decreased by 8%.90% of CO2 in the air today comes from buildings and transportation.


Cool city is a very eco-friendly city with low CO2 emissions which is going to be built by SDCJ, which is a Japanease company. The Cool City consists of three zones, which are: business, commercial and residential. The transport system which would be used in the Cool City consists of transit rail, solar water taxis and hybrid cars, there will also be used techniques to reduce heating such as waterways, rooftop membranes and tree planting.


Hopefully, if everything goes as planned the excpected CO2 reductions are 50% for eco towers and 30% for eco residences, with total CO2 reduction to be at 60%.


My opinion:-


In my honest opinion, I totally do agree that Cool City is a must-have project, it would save our planet eventually. Having a clean environment is very necessary, most of the world’s sickness today comes from pollution therefore it’s our responsibility to eliminate it.
