We saw a movie about a project called Cool City, Cool City is a city which SDCJ (Sustainable Development Consortium of Japan) is planning to build. It uses renewable energy sources to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and heat emissions in the air(Hope,2008). Now I will summaries what I saw in the movie.
Since the start of the industrial revolution the Cool city project was planned to be built and done due 2030, but some economic problems occurred in its development like the amount increased in population and environmental issues like the increase in CO2. If these problems stayed as they are with no solution it will leave them with no solution other than finding other place to build the Cool city project. Now a days CO2 is increasing rapidly and people themselves have to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by 1.5 otherwise they’ll have to use 5 more earths which is impossible.
Thirty years ago Japan’s GDP (gross domestic product) has shot up to 100% and energy efficiency increased by 37% while oil consumption has fell 8%. Buildings and transportation both represents 90% of carbon dioxide emitted into the air. Cool City will use light rails, mono rail and hybrid cars for transportation inside the city. Many zones are there in the city like the public zone, sport zone, residential zone and the resort. There will be lots of trees and water to reduce the heat, there are two main buildings with special features which expected to reduce the CO2 by half(Cool City).
