    Masdar City is the eco-city of the future, but is it really as successful as its master plan says it will be? With a $22 billion budget, the Mubadala Development Company really hopes so. With a goal of reducing carbon emissions, using renewable energy sources, and creating brand new clean-tech innovations that’ll change the world, the futuristic city definitely had a lot to accomplish. It aims to have at east 50,000 residents living there upon completion in 2030, but so far only 4,000 workers and 1,300 students call this desert city their home.
    Masdar is developing a lot of cool technology, though. For one, they have awesome public transportation called the Personal Rapid Transit system that is made up of futuristic, electric and driverless pods that get people around the city underground. The city is also home to the world’s first university for artificial intelligence, the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, and the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology. There’s also a Tech Park where young innovators can collaborate, take courses and build prototypes together, as well as a mall called My City Center Masdar where residents can go for some retail therapy. As for accommodations, potential residents will love the city’s Eco-Villas, which cost about $200,000 and have their own solar panels. So, what would it be like to live in the world’s first eco-city, and is the project even going to be completed? Let’s have a look at Masdar City so far.

Fucking ignorant piece of sh•t. Basically $250 of free money they can spend to the last penny. If we didn’t do it this way the workers would’ve sent the whole $2500+ and left themselves with $100 expecting to live on it. So better spend it in the country to make sure they are doing well rather than them forcing poverty just to send the extra cash to the families.

    I have been there to take a tour of this place last year and yeah unfortunately it has a LONG way to go still... it was truly like a ghost town unfortunately. There is very little to do there and very few places to eat at. It is a cool concept and I love the things they are doing to be better for the environment but unless you like to have the feeling of being secluded and are home bodies then you won't be excited about it. It has potential but it seemed like it was pretty much done there with not much new developments going on in that area.

I sometimes tell them to just Google Dubia and look at the buildings. Most Americans do not realise that their country is actually dated and dirty with worn-out infrastructure.
    All the money goes into the pockets of the 1% and the "American dream," is just that for most of them. Other nations and building futuristic infrastructure and brand new cities from scratch.
