Cool Cities (SDJC)


The world is becoming more developed day after day and many serous problems came with it such as global warming, air and noise pollution. Also the increasing of population is making these problems harder to control. To solve these problems, cool cities (SDJC) plan has been set for the gulf.

The logo of the cool city (SDCJ) is "Towards sustainable urban development and Architecture". This project is about building a Network of cool cities that depend on natural power. The city will reduce 60% of its CO2. As known 90% of the CO2 is released from buildings and transport. By building a city with 1 km radius they will solve the transport problem because every thing will be reachable by walking. There are also monorail station, Light rail transit station, water transportation and hybrid car parking areas. All the buildings will be green buildings so the CO2 will be reduce as much as possible.

In conclusion, these cities are one of the solutions that will help solving the global warming. no one built this city because of it's high cost but as you can see building these kind of cities will help solving many problems.
