China to build seven sustainable cities
By Greenbang on Tuesday, 21st August 2007
Greenbang is frothing at the mouth over this one. It’s like the Great Wall of China all over again.
If you’ve not yet heard of architect William McDonough, you soon will have.
The Chinese government has him designing SEVEN new sustainable cities for them. He’s a genius .
While people are happy to lambast China with the world’s CO2 problems – it recently was labelled the world’s worst emitter of CO2 – Greenbang thinks the Chinese realise the problem and are quickly looking to solve it – perhaps faster than the West will be able to.
China is on a roll of change. Why not leapfrog a few more technologies while they’re at it?
