The BBC News website has a piece on Masdar today, with an announcement about a
Radio 4 broadcast tomorrow (29-03-2010) that will be available later on the BBC

Masdar: Abu Dhabi's carbon-neutral city
By Tom Heap
Presenter, Radio 4's Costing The Earth

|| 2100 BST, BBC Radio 4

The world's first zero-carbon city is being built in Abu Dhabi and is designed
to be not only free of cars and skyscrapers but also powered by the sun.
The oil-rich United Arab Emirates is the last place you would expect to learn
lessons on low-carbon living, but the emerging eco-city of Masdar could teach
the world.
At first glance, the parched landscape of Abu Dhabi looks like the craziest
place to build any city, let alone a sustainable one.
The inhospitable terrain suggests that the only way to survive here is with the
maximum of technological support, a bit like living on the moon.
The genius of Masdar - if it works - will be combining 21st Century engineering
with traditional desert architecture to deliver zero-carbon comfort. And it is
being built now.
Masdar will be home to about 50,000 people, at least 1,000 businesses and a
university.
It is being designed by British architects Foster and Partners, but it is the
ruler of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who is paying for it.
And it will cost between £10bn ($15bn) and £20bn ($30bn).
Renewable energy
The architects are turning the desert's greatest threat - the sun - into their
greatest asset.
(Image, caption: The quality of air will be better than any other street in the
Gulf and in the world, and that alone will bring you safety, health and
happiness
Kaled Awad, director of the Masdar project)
They have built the biggest solar farm in the Middle East to power the city and
to offset the inevitable burning of diesel and baking of cement in construction.
They are also experimenting. One project involves a circular field of mirrors on
the ground, all reflecting towards a tower in the middle.
That, in turn, bounces the light down in a concentrated beam about a metre (3ft)
wide to produce heat and drive generators.
But I was told firmly not to wander over and feel the warmth, as it could fry me
in seconds.
The international team of engineers have real pride in their work.
This is more than building to them, it is a lab bench with the freedom to get it
wrong, and Masdar's chief architect Gerard Evenden loves the concentration of
expertise: "What Abu Dhabi is beginning to generate is the Silicon Valley of
renewable energy."
Keeping cool
The Emirates have seen one of the world's most spectacular building booms paid
for by oil and made tolerable by air conditioners, which also depend on oil to
feed their vast appetite for energy.
(Image, caption: Lunar technology has begun to influence our thinking
Gerard Evenden, architect)
But Masdar will have to be low temperature and low carbon.
Part of the solution is apparent the moment you walk in. And you do "walk in"
because this is a city surrounded by a wall, a defined boundary.
Unlike the upward and outward sprawl of Dubai or Abu Dhabi, Masdar is compact
like ancient Arab cities.
Streets are narrow so buildings shade each other, and the walls and roofs of
buildings will do their bit to shed heat too.
The vertical faces are dressed with screens which look like a terracotta mesh.
They keep the sun out but let the breeze in.
And as architect Gerard Evenden says: "Lunar technology has begun to influence
our thinking."
One idea being tested is using a thin foil surface covering, a gas or vacuum
blanket, to keep the heat out. It is an idea dreamt up for a moon base.
To encourage a breeze, wind towers are being built, drawing draughts through the
streets without using energy.
Masdar will still use electricity for gadgets, some air conditioning and, most
crucially, to desalinate sea water but, when it comes to power, the city has a
simple mantra: "Only use energy when you have exhausted design."
Driverless vehicles
Conventional cars must be checked in at the city gates and then you can choose
between the oldest and newest modes of transport.
At street level, it is all pedestrianised and the planners have done their best
to keep the city compact and foot-friendly.
But if fatigue overtakes you, then slip down a level and meet the Personal Rapid
Transit or podcars.
These driverless vehicles are guided by magnetic sensors, powered by solar
electricity, and they stop automatically if an obstacle appears. They are
programmed to go where you ask.
Kaled Awad, director of the Masdar project claims: "The quality of air will be
better than any other street in the Gulf and in the world, and that alone will
bring you safety, health and happiness."
The future success of the project will be clear to see.
On top of the wind tower, there will be a beacon betraying the city's actual
energy use: red for too much, blue for just right.
It will be 45m (147ft) up and visible for miles around so, when Masdar is
finished in five to 10 years' time, we will all know if it is in the red.
Costing The Earth: Eco-City Limits will be broadcast on Monday 29 March at 2100
BST on BBC Radio 4 and will be available on the BBC iPlayer.

Robert Moskowitz, who follows matters of transportation and public policy
with interest from Los Angeles, and who periodically shares with World
Streets information, clues and comments on matters of old and new mobility,
poses the following for our consideration this morning:
"I've noticed there's a whole infrastructure in our cities in charge of
putting up stop signs, traffic lights, and the like, but no infrastructure
in charge of taking them down when they've outlived their usefulness. If I
were a traffic scientist, I would have studied and published on these
topics. But I had no standing and no time to have more than opinions."
Reflecting on Robert's suggestion, it seems obvious that there is no
possibility that any city or nation, or person for that matter, can have
even a chance of moving seriously toward sustainability, without
specifically reversing a lot of past decisions, investments, and physical
facts of everyday life.
So if that is true -- it is, isn't it? - it is something that presidents,
governors, mayors and anyone else in the political establishment should be
aware of and ready to engage. Anywhere on this planet.
Nest step: World Streets would very much like to do one or more articles on
anything that resembles a Take It Down Department that you might be able to
point us to. It would be a great contribution.

Actually, that was me who wrote the quote below. I understood what you intended
and I took it at face value, but seeing the numbers and use of "carfree" in this
context provoked an immediate reaction to the vast differences in the way the
word is being used and what is actually implied depending on how you use it.
When you think about it, 17% of households isn't necessarily 17% of the
population: there may be some variance above or below that number. I wonder,
though, what the general rate of car ownership per household for motoring
households alone is? Probably closer to 2 than to 1 in some places.
I was pointing out the dissonance between the percentage of *non-motoring*
households for any given city and the actual percentage of truly carfree areas
that you would think should correspond to non-car-use. It's rather discouraging
that no matter how high the percentage of non-motorist households, automobile
infrastructure is still uniformly dominant everywhere. There are still a lot of
mental habits to change.

Every once in a while sustainable transport and sustainable city planners
get a break. Some of these are immediately recognizable as such, for example
when your city has decided to host some important international event such
as the Olympic Games, a World Expo, or some kind of international athletic,
cultural or political event, all of which occasions which may provide the
funding and vision of the city which is simply not there in the ordinary
hustle and bustle of day-to-day life. But these "opportunities" may also
take a far less rosy form, such as a crippling transit strike or even
natural disaster which may temporarily or permanently wipe out some part of
the city's normal transportation arrangements. In this article, our friend
and colleague Todd Litman reports from Canada on one of the more happy
occasions for transition and innovation. But at the end of the day there is
always the question, "what is the legacy of all this?"

This article is a good survey of the traditional solutions.
But they miss one that I, as a former carshare provider, have to put on the
table.
If there is only room for so many cars -- a question few cities ever
consider -- then you have to ensure that the magic number are shared
equitably. And that requires a formal sharing industry.
The proposal on the table seems to be inequitable, since it makes those with
cars already registered safe from the auction or any fees. It affects only
those trying to enter the car-ownership world. That is a fairness flaw that
will undermine the broad acceptance the program requires.
Instead, those with existing plates need to know that they will face an
auction of some flat fee when their plates next need to be renewed.
But the best scheme is for sharing of the limited fleet, which might happen
naturally. In such a dense environment, parking is as much limited as road
space, and that cost becomes non-productive cost to those owning a car. A
carsharing company could reduce that cost (by stringing together many
different people's uses), reducing the need for parking, and having any
remaining parking cost shared by the many users.
It also will reduce each driver's tendency to drive, which is stimuated by
private-ownership's sunk costs and the ease of access.
Anytime you have a limited supply of anything, you have to rely on price to
cut into everyone's demand for it. Only sharing schemes will do that.

Women who try to walk or cycle here find male drivers honking at them, yelling
sexual obscenities at them, and even following them. This likely happens here
because, with the exception of a few areas, anyone walking or cycling is
completely alone and sticks out like someone standing in the middle of a desert.

Half full or half empty? The Sebastopol City Council's approval of a Drive Less
and Car Free Day is a bit ironic because most of the population lives in a
sprawling region of rural residential development -- the most car-dependent and
driving-intensive form of development possible. Realistically, the options form
most residents are driving or staying home. So the Council's resolution may be
more feel-good lip service than serious intention. If they were really serious,
they would change their zoning and building codes...
