Chinese Eco-Cities

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the a-friend-in-green-is-a-friend-indeed dept.

opencity writes "The Guardian is reporting on a deal by Arups, a British consulting firm, to build four eco-cities in China. The cities are to be self-sufficient in energy, water and most food products, with the aim of zero emissions of greenhouse gases in transport systems. The press release hints at some of the technology."

    Why per capita? Why not per square foot?

    Or why not per dollar of GDP? Measuring pollution by GDP actually represents an interesting metric of production efficiency, and on that scale China is very poor indeed, although the US and Canada are at best middling (on par with nations like Brazil, Sri Lanks and Mexico. It's Japan and various European countries that fare best.
