A total of 50,000 people will work, research and study in Masdar City - many of whom will also be living in the city

Global Scenario – Urbanism & Energy Consumption

By 2030, 60 percent of the world’s population will live in cities. Urbanization leads to increased energy demands, increased transport infrastructure, increased ecological footprint. Cities consume 70% of the worlds energy – primarily by Transportation & Buildings

Cities must adapt and become bastions of sustainable living.

Developing Sustainable Communities is the need of the hour!!!
