So you are looking at the pictures of the would be world’s first 100% carbon free city that runs on renewable energy resources and also claims to be even a zero waste city. This is the Masdar City, a planned city in Abu Dhabi, UAE which has been designed to support a population of 47,500 in a sustainable environment.

The circular structures are the sunflower umbrellas that have been designed to capture heat in the day and utilize the very same at night. This is just one feature of the eco-city to be completed in 2016, which is said to include a plaza, five-star hotel, long stay hotel, a convention centre and entertainment complex and retail facilities.
