China? No people? No money?

No people. No money.

The December issue of Focus magazine has a front-page article on the subject of eco-cities titled "Welcome to Eco-City; No fuel bills. No traffic jams. No pollution.". Both the Chinese clean-slate ecocity of Dongtan and the UAE's Masdar City are explored in depth. Overall a good read.

The Popular Science city is a great example of how a Clean Slate city could be done. It could easily produce more clean, renewable energy than it could use as well as cleaning up more pollution than it could produce. In fact energy production and pollution could be the primary industries in this eco-city and could be made very profitable in this infrastructure.
