Earth City: JM Schivo & Associati’s Futuristic 21st Century City is 100% Powered by Clean Energy

<a href="http://www.jmschivo.com">JM Schivo &amp; Associati</a> has drawn up ambitious plans for a sustainable 'Earth City' that completely redefines what a city can and should look like. In addition to a series of large urban blocks that house commercial, recreational, residential, and retail functions, the city features large swaths of green space (including <a href="http://inhabitat.com/amazing-green-roof-art-school-in-singapore/">green walls and roofs</a>) that make up 40 percent of the dense urban fabric. Designed for walking and electric vehicles, this city is 100% powered by a robust mix of <a href="http://inhabitat.com/energy/">renewable energy sources</a>.

JM Schivo &amp; Associati have designed a 21st century city that is 100% powered by clean energy

A series of modular urban blocks are fully integrated into a verdant swath of land

Green walls and roofs green up the mixed-use buildings

The entire city is powered by a robust mix of clean energy sources

Solar, geothermal, cogeneration and other clean energy sources make up the mix

A smart grid ensures that not a single watt of energy is wasted

Designed for walking, this city would have a network of EVs, and links to public transportation

Green space makes up 40% of the urban fabric

The density ratio optimizes the relationship between the built environment and the landscape

Earth City makes us lament over what could have been

And yet we feel certain that it is still possible to redeem ourselves with a design like this!
