In 2006, the Emirati government started building the world’s largest eco-city and named it Masdar. The city uses solar panels to power the whole community. The design and layout of the buildings and walls keep the city much cooler, so very little electricity is used to keep the buildings cool. Visitors to Masdar must leave their cars and use electric, driverless vehicles while in the city. Students are currently the only residents, although there are plans to build more homes and even a school in the future. The project continues and is a great example of a city that uses renewable energy on a large scale.
