\nWe haven\u2019t seen the last of eco-city designs. Dubai\u2019s Xeritown<\/a> and Abu Dhabi\u2019s Masdar<\/a> city have yet another green and clean civilization design to look out for, the Al Jadida Agropolis, a self sufficient city that could show up amongst the sands of Egypt. The Nile delta is seeing a population burst in recent times, with places like Cairo and Alexandria having a population growth. The population there though is completely unsustainable. Overstretched infrastructures, satellite developments and the likes have decreased the quality of life in those areas. So, the Agropolis could be a life saving answer.<\/p>\n
\nItalian architect Marjan Colleti came up with these agro-urban settlements. The Agropolis is self sufficient, with the citizens having a role to play in agricultural and semi-agricultural processes. This results in a sustainable balance in food and energy production and consumption. Maybe the ancient Egyptians wouldn\u2019t understand the need for a greener lifestyle, but then again, the times have changed and our perishing earth needs rescue.
