Over 20 percent of the worlds population lives in the Asian nation and in order to not phase out the feeling of community due to super-stacked cities, the Chinese are focusing and planning around the idea. London-based engineering and design firm Arup is laying out plans for the eco-city, Dongtan, designated for Chongming Island--an island replica Omega Limited Edition 3507.51 watch off the coast of Shanghai and at the mouth of the Yangtze River. About two-thirds the size of Manhattan, they expect the island will hold half a million people by 2050.To live in this city will mean to be aware; The citys functioning will center on treating wastewater, recycling and processing waste, and reducing the use of cars by promoting biking and public transportation.
While China may be headed in the right direction (thumbs-up for the eco-city!), the pinpointed island is surrounded by wetlands and next to a bird sanctuary where hundreds of rare species migrate for refuge. When the point is to create the most minimal footprint possible, why shoulder up to an already endangered landscape? Is this a recipe for replica Omega 1552.30 watch disaster?Whats more is that the rare species bird sanctuary inspired the idea to create the low-impact community. Wouldnt the idea be to leave it alone for preservation and not build directly next to it? The eco-citys design firm, Arup, told CNN, The key of the Dongtan concept is that all elements are considered. But, the question is, will half a million people be able to consider all of the elements in their day-to-day life?
