The green village of 1,000 luxurious apartments, equipped with sustainable technology and car-free use, will grow between the capital of Cape Town of South Africa.
According to CNN, the project is the first model on the black continent, designed by Swisatec architecture firm.The $ 900 million development will take place at Blue Rock Resort in Somerset West, which is surrounded by famous wine farms.
Swisatec's plan is to build 1,000 apartments, health centers, spas, shops, schools and restaurants.
"Our apartments are designed to meet different personal needs. Development includes the construction of 1,000 luxury apartments on a land area of 400,000 square meters , " Lukas Reichmuth, founder of Swisatec. , said.
Cars will be limited to main roads or underground parking. The project's top priority is the efficient use of energy resources , including renewable energy and pre-existing technology such as LED and water management systems.
According to the report of environmental organization Groundwork, South Africa is in the list of 12 countries leading carbon emissions in the world.This report predicts that the average temperature in South Africa will increase from 6 to 12 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, and the logic explains the importance of water and assesses the ongoing energy crisis.
However, according to Business Day, Cape Town aims to generate 10-20% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020, even if the city government wants residents to produce renewable energy by themselves.
The Blue Rock Village project will last 10 years and start construction in August this year, and homebuyers can move in in February 2017.
