Cool City (SDSJ)

The economic development has been linked with some problems since the start of industrial revolution such us: Earth and environmental issues like rising in population and increasing in the amount of CO2. We should face these problems and solve them or we will need another earth to replace out own. We have to decrease one half the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the air to live within the capacity of a single earth. In Japan during the last 30 years GDP (Gross Domestic Product) has gone up double percent while energy efficiency has increased 37% percent and oil consumption has decreased 8%percent. And, 90 percent of carbon dioxide emitted into the air came from Buildings and transportations. The cool city is a city that was built to reduce the CO2 emission and help with the global warming problem and it's built by SDCj, Japan. The types of transportation that will be used in Cool City are Monorail between cities, LRT, hybrid cars and solar ships inside the city. And, the various zones in the city are Business/public zone, residential zone, culture/sport zone and resort zone. Some of the techniques that will reduce heat are putting an abundant of trees and water, natural breezes. The expected CO2 reduction for the two types of buildings is 80% while, the overall percentage of reduction of CO2 emissions claimed in the video is 60%.
