Cool Cities are impractical


Many people think that cool cities are the solution for the global warming. In fact cool cities are impractical for several reasons which will be mentioned in this essay supported by Masdar city which going to build in Abu Dhabi.
The population in the world is more than 6 billion. Cool cities would not be practical because it can hold low population. For example Masdar city hold 47500 population only ( Masdar Site) where Abu Dhabi population in 2030 will be around 3.1 million. Another problem is the cost of the cool cities. To build modern buildings, modern transport networks, planting large areas. And making large water surfaces needs huge budget. Masdar will cost $22 billion (Wikipedia). Even during construction the cities would be problem. CO2 emissions will increase and after building them the emissions will produce. Another issue came to my mind is living in the cool cities would change our life styles. There would not be any more traditions any more like before. The life style would be more different especially for a community like UAE. The UAE people like stick with traditions which they believe.
In conclusion, the cool cities would be practical and a good solution to save the Earth for our children future. Building beautiful city like Masdar will be impractical as my opinion supported by examples and facts. Instead, we should plant trees and make green buildings and we should the power energy.
