The United Nations predicts that by 2030, 60% of the worlds population will live in cities. Because of the influx of people in cities, the demand for cleaner air, energy, and water will skyrocket. Due to the world's trash being doubled and rising greenhouse gases (by 25%), the need for technological innovation in the "Cities of Tomorrow" is dire. The solution? Create buildings that have zero carbon footprint through the creation of automatic window shades, hydronic heat, solar panel roofs, etc.
Wow that's a really interesting idea... I hope these buildings can actually become a thing.
ReplyDeleteIt would be pretty great if buildings like this really became a thing... I guess we'll see.
