The exponential increase in the number of humans on the planet has resulted in the urgent need to find new strategies to deal with the housing issue. At a time when the future of the planet is a constant source of concern, it is worthwhile to re-examine how we design and build our homes and cities in order to meet the challenges of sustainable development. Constructing, using, maintaining and even destroying buildings incurs significant environmental costs, which is why some are working on concepts that run counter to conventional trends in architecture and are attempting to adapt new building projects to today’s realities.

Abu Dhabi is the biggest of the United Arab Emirates sitting in the heart of the oil rich Persian Gulf. Oil represents more than two thirds of this city state’s economy and with such easy access to all that black gold, the citizens of Abu Dhabi have become one of the most polluting on earth. Cheap fuel means big cars, year round air conditioning and sweet water, which comes from an energy intensive desalination process. And yet Abu Dhabi recently announced one of the most ambitious development projects in the world. The construction of Masdar, the world’s first zero carbon, zero waste, car free city. The 22 billion dollar project when it’s finished in 2016, will be home to 40 000 people, an academic institute, a manufacturing hub for solar power and desalination, have no greenhouse gas emissions, no waste and a personal transport system instead of cars. Great Idea, but can it work? The team has just 18 months to get the first phase out of the ground (the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology). And in the Middle East they don’t do things by halves. It’s not only the building that must be green, but the process itself, ‘building the building’. This film follows the trials and tribulations of Sanad, Meg, Chris and Samir as they struggle to build the prototype city on time and on budget in Abu Dhabi’s punishing heat.

Not only are the homes and other community buildings built in a very environmentally friendly way, but the design promotes the diminished need to drive by grouping services like grocery, laundry, restaurants and other things in the center promoting biking and walking. We take a few days off to enjoy the experience!

Australia House- This Sydney home looks like any other in the street, but it is almost completely self-sufficient. The owners spent around 80,000 Australian dollars (US $66,500) on power and water-saving devices for their new home. Learning About Plants- The Royal Horticulture Society’s new glasshouse at Wisley, England, is huge. The size of ten tennis courts, it houses exotic plants from around the world, and also gives people the chance to learn more about plants. Paris Bicycles- The City of Paris has introduced a large scale bicycle hire scheme in a bid to cut pollution and city congestion. Philippines Packaging- Each year around 100 million tonnes of plastic is produced worldwide. Despite some efforts to recycle plastic it often ends up in dumps or clogs waterways. In the Philippines the mounting problem of waste has prompted some businesses to find a better way. Israel Solar- Solar power is a potentially limitless and pure solution to the problems of fossil fuel and nuclear energy. But the big drawback is its cost. Changing all that however, scientists at Israel’s National Centre for Solar Energy have found a way to produce large scale solar power at a competitive price. Focus On Climate Change- The well respected Hooper’s Gallery in East London showcases contemporary work by top British photographers. In an unusual exhibition it’s teamed up with the National Trust, Europe’s biggest conservation organisation, with over 3 million members in the UK alone. The result is ‘exposed’, a collection of pictures that captures the reality of climate change in the UK. China Green Olympics- The Olympic motto is 'faster, higher, stronger'. In 2008, you probably can add the word 'greener'. Since its winning bid in 2001 the Chinese government has steadily worked to clean up host city, Beijing, one of the most polluted cities in the world.
