Cool Cities (SDCJ)...

The previous few years have seen significant development in the industrial sector which led to an increase in pollution rate and caused various environmental issues. One of the recent important issues that we are facing and got the attention of many is “Global Warming”. As recently the Global temperatures on both land and sea have increased because of different issues such as increase the amount of CO2.  

Sustainable Urban Development Consortium for Japan (SDCJ) has come up with a solution for this issue in project called “Cool City”. “Cool City” is an eco-friendly infrastructure and energy consumption project which reduce the amount of pollution mainly CO2 into the environment mainly. As about 90% of the pollution is caused by transportation and infrastructure; the Cool City use up to 60% less energy using green technology and low carbon footprint.

So, in SDCJ “Cool City” project new methods have been developed to fight these problems. For instance; new means of transportation have been developed using green technology such as trains, solar boats and hyper cars. Moreover, they change the way of infrastructure using low carbon footprint. The new technology will use the wind power to cool the apartment and the offices and use solar power to get electricity.

It is clear that “Cool City” aims to provide people healthy environment by reducing the increase of CO2 in the environment. Moreover, it is an efficient life style as it makes use of the available power like sun, wind, water to generate electricity and use it in our life. If the concept of Cool City is adopted by countries it will not just make us healthier but also it will save our Earth from destroy.
