Beat this!!! (mark2)

Just following on from Tierk's "Beat this!!!" thread in a way - They're building a city in the UAE that is supposed to be completely 'green' - no waste and zero carbon emissions. Pretty impressive imo:

Dhabi starts constructing 'green city' - Wikinews, the free news source

Dr Al Jaber said, “We are often asked why we are setting our goal so high. Our answer is because someone must... Someone must push the envelope to create the solution that we, as a global community, so urgently require.”

Cant help but love that attitude, if they can pull this off it will really set the standard in terms of the whole "war on global warming" thing thats going on atm.

Kinda related i guess...was watchin a prog the other night about world trade centre barhaim (sp?) seems like a lot of innovative stuff is being done out in the east. As far as architecture (SP?) goes i find modern stuff rather fugly, but it's impressive. For beauty i think cathedrals and castles and such are where it's at.
