Masdar City: Impressive Architecture, Ambitious Goal

"Enter the Planet’s First 0-Carbon and 0-Waste City" Techpin (February 29, 2008)

"Back in 2007, at Cityscape Dubai, the world’s largest business-to-business real estate investment and development event, Masdar Institute of Science and Technology presented an amazing project consisting of building a 0-carbon and 0-waste city with the finalizing date estimated for the year 2009."

The 0- part is impressive, but then I remember Biosphere 2.

Still, the Masdar City renderings look like very cool architecture, and the design ideas are valid.
