Work has begun on the world's first zero-carbon, zero-waste, car-free, city in Abu Dhabi. Called Masdar City, it is estimated that it will take eight years to build and be home to 50,000 people.
Plans are in place for most of the city's power to be obtained from solar energy and residents will be able to move around Masdar City in travel pods running on magnetic tracks.
