the ten guiding principles

Zero carbon: trying to decrease the carbon footprint emission of the world and zero emission of the city.

Zero waste: means recycling all the main materials and elements and reuse them in other useful things.

Sustainable transport: use clean vehicles technology that helps in decreasing the pollution and global warming.

Local and sustainable materials: trying to use local materials to benefit the community and environments.

Local and sustainable food: using locally gown food decreasing pollution that occurs from transportation and importing.

Sustainable water: supplying water locally with environment friendly way and meeting the WWF standards.

Natural habitats and wildlife: widen the natural areas that include nature resources to increase the biodiversity of the wildlife.

Culture and heritage: Masdar city will be built with a local design to decrease temperature and make a shade.

Equity and fair-trade: fair trading governments to create the equity and insure a fair and stable life for everyone.

Health and happiness: people in Masdar city will have a healthier life because it's pollution free area.

I think that Masdar will not do some of them 100%. I think they will do sustainable transport, zero carbon and sustainable water. But they can't do a city with a zero waste and local sustainable materials and foods and equity.
