Super clean city 'spurned' car

People who want to use cars in eco cities in the UK will have to pay $ 18,000 per month for a parking spot, the British government documents show. Information was revealed in the context of British ministers preparing to announce the world's first ecological city construction sites.

4 locations in the south and the center of the UK will pioneer in the construction of an eco-city due to the support of the county council. However, almost 2 years ago, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown proposed to build 10 eco cities.

According to government guidelines for parking in eco-urban areas, motorists will have to leave vehicles in car parks (built on the edge of the city).

Although there is parking, but the policy of the government is the development of ecological urban will not be attached to cars. Parking in public places will be limited to the maximum and completely prohibited in residential areas.

In the guiding document, there is a paragraph: ' The space in the parking lot must be rented or purchased for approximately £ 12,500 ($ 17,500). This cost is not related to the cost of buying or renting . '

He is not the only country planning an ecological urban construction. In Asia, China is also promoting the construction of an ecological city named Dongtan near the Shanghai metropolis. The city will rise from the wild swamp on Chongming - China's third largest island and lie toward the mouth of the Yangtze River. Here, no building is over 8 stories high, the roofs covered with grass and trees to insulate and regenerate water.

The space for pedestrians in Dongtan is six times larger than in Copenhagen (Denmark) - one of the most airy cities in Europe. Clean battery-powered buses connect the neighborhoods. Traditional motorbikes are prohibited. People walk by bicycles and electric scooters. Roads are designed to get people to work faster by bike and on foot than by car.

About 80% of solid waste will be regenerated. People burned them in a thermal power plant. Organic waste will partly meet the city's electricity needs. Rice husk, a highly available and highly available fuel source in China, is also burned there. Huge wind engines with the thrust of the sea breeze also produce electricity. Each building has a small wind engine and its own photovoltaic panels.

Dongtan city construction project started in 2006 and is expected to last for 4 years.
