Masdar City project to be scaled back

Masdar City, the clean energy community being built on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi, is currently under review, the National has reported. The development will keep its goals of being carbon neutral and producing zero waste to landfills, but there will be fewer buildings, they will be taller and built over a longer period of time, the head of the project told the daily. 'Our strategy is the same, our vision is the same, but we have become much smarter in our approach,' Sultan al Jaber, the chief executive of Masdar, was quoted as saying.
