MASDAR THE CITY OF FUTURE
![Page 2: Masdar the city of future](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021415/58a5af331a28ab1a628b60b5/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
INTRODUCTIONMasdar City is a planned city in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
It is built by Madar, a subsidiary of Mubadala Development Company which is owned by the Abu Dhabi government.
It is designed to be the world’s first zero-carbon, zero waste city.

PILOT TECHNOLOGIESMasdar City has six technology focus areas:
Smart Buildings / Smart GridGreen Supply Chain: Green Supplier Database, Supply Chain Management SystemTransportation: Clean Mobility Infrastructure, Battery Technologies, Systems IntegrationICT: Sustainability Management System, Smart City Municipal OperationsEnergy-Efficient LightingThermal Energy: Geothermal Cooling

DESIGN
The design of the city features traditional Arab cities with modern technological advancements.Energy primarily supplied by the city’s solar power plants,District cooling for air conditioning.Use of innovative materials which are more sustainable and high performance delivering.Wet utilities [water, wastewater, re-use water, and storm water].Waste management and recycling

TRANSPORT SYSTEMPedestrian focused that encourage walking in the integrated nature of the city.
Travel will be accomplished via public mass transit and Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) systems.
Abu Dhabi’s light rail and Metro lines passing through the centre of the city supports ensures no destination in the city is more than 250m-300m from public transport.

BUILDING MATERIAL
Use of 100% sustainably sourced timber.Use of 90% recycled-content aluminium used for the inner façade.Use of Green concrete that uses ground granulated blasted slag to replace cement.Reinforcing bars made of 100% recycled steel.Use of palmwood in structures like gates.

ENERGY MANAGEMENTA 10 MW solar photovoltaic plant is already operational within Masdar City, the largest such solar plant in the Middle East. Geothermal energy is also being utilised.

Water Resources ManagementIn phase 1,the targeting
consumption is 180 litre/person/day. Water-use
reduction technologies like highly efficient fittings, smart water
metres that inform consumers of their consumption are already in use. Almost 80% of used water is
recycled.

ARCHITECTUREBuildings’ facades are specifically designed to reduce gain.Direct sun never strikes the facades of buildings, light is let in and heat is blocked out.Narrow & winding streets which ultimately reduces the temperature by 20 degrees.Certain structures clad in terracotta panels.Reflective wall panels.

WASTE MANAGEMENTThe city's solid waste is divided into three principle streams:Dry recyclables (plastics, cardboard, papers), Wet recyclables (food and other organic waste) Residuals (e.g. toothpaste tubes). Buildings in the city have three waste chutes to allow for easy separation into the three main waste streams.A Resource Recovery Centre (RRC) in Masdar City will be processing the non recyclables and special waste to use them for offsite management.

SUSTAINABILITYMasdar is different from a regular development because of :Large reduction targets for energy & water demand.All aspects of urban planning, architecture, design, construction and operations are being modifiedMajor commitment to sustainable productsPiloting several advanced clean-transportation systems and strategies, including PRT
