How about this for an environmentally conscious social experiment, a mini-burg called Masdar City, a place with no cars, full solar power, advanced water-saving systems, complete energy independence, 100 percent walkability, zero carbon emissions, zero waste, full of so many radical enviro-friendly ideas it seems almost impossible, considering it's also being built on one of the least hospitable hunks of land anywhere. It's being built by the folks from Abu Dhabi, the richest city in the world (Average net worth of every one of Abu Dhabi's 420,000 citizens? Seventeen million dollars).
and the price tag you ask . . . $22 BILLION . . . that's a lot of zeros.
Whoah!
