Masdar City (Arabic: مدينة مصدر‎, Madīnat Maṣdar, literally Source City[1]) is a project in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates. Its core is a planned city, which is being built by the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, a subsidiary of Mubadala Development Company, with the majority of seed capital provided by the government of Abu Dhabi.[2][3] Designed by the British architectural firm Foster and Partners, the city will rely entirely on solar energy and other renewable energy sources, with a sustainable, zero-carbon, zero-waste ecology and will be a car free city. The city is being constructed 17 kilometres (11 mi) east-south-east of the city of Abu Dhabi, beside Abu Dhabi International Airport.

Masdar City will host the headquarters of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).[4][5] The city is designed to be a hub for cleantech companies. Its first tenant is the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, which has been operating in the city since it moved into its campus in September 2010.[6][7][8] The city as a whole was originally intended to be completed by 2016 but that date has now been pushed back to 2025.[9]

Look how quickly China built up many of their current cities. These dudes are known for slapping shit together in days. With the billions of cheap laborers (plenty of engineers) they have, i can see it being completed in 10 years.

They built this Hotel in 6 days


Will it be structurally sound is the question.

i have been to china....and guess what...they have the manpower to build it and the cheap labor to do it fast. I bet it will be up in a matter of a few years.

I think you guys under estimate how china builds...

now the problem is...who is going to live in this city and who can afford to and how will they control transportation.

I will move there when it is complete

you can but you will watched since you are a foreigner. also you right will eventually be taken away an it will be hard for you to find work.

so good luck
