Masdar City







The world is moving very fast and the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi is trying to improve and develop quickly. There are many projects which will be completed in a few years but I will concentrate on Masdar City.
Masdar is a city but a very different city. Let's talk about why it's different. Masdar will be first city in the world without carbon and garbage and cars because it will use metro. The city located near to the Abu Dhabi Airport and it will contain about 50 thousand people. I like change and this city will different in life style. I hope not just visit the city I hope to live in it. I think its dream to live in clean city; I hate smoke because it makes me sick. The city also not that far away from centers of Abu Dhabi it about 15m.
To conclude, Abu Dhabi government will wonder the with this kind of city, I hope to live in it to feel about what the world dream on it.
