 The city of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is now the scene of a massive construction project to build a city that will be home to 50,000 people and house 1,500 businesses but use very little energy. Whatever energy it does use will come from renewable sources.
This project is expected to cost $22 billion and will implement a wide range of technologies, including thin-film solar panels that serve as the facades and roofing materials for buildings.
