Its homes, hospitals, hotels, schools and offices will be built on a 340acre site in what Boeri calls the first attempt to create an urban environment that is really trying to find a balance with nature. Its 100 species of plant life are expected to absorb almost 10, 000 tons of carbon dioxide and 57 tons of pollutants per year, while at the same time producing 900 tons of lifegiving oxygen. Although the idea of zero emission net carbonpositive, sustainable (可持續(xù)) development was promoted worldwide, most cities are at a loss what to do or even some have objected to it.
