Despite the urban population taking up just 2% of the world’s land, we use 75% of the world’s resources.

With the world population estimated to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, conscious countries are building their own eco-cities, hoping to provide a solution to the environmental crisis’ they are currently facing.

[https://www.powertools2u.co.uk Powertools2U] have uncovered the construction plans of [https://www.powertools2u.co.uk/blog/cities-near-future/ four eco-cities of the future], with each one maximising space and minimising commissions.

Eco-Cities of the Near Future:

* At least 50% of the residents will have jobs within the city, which will lessen the air pollution from transport.
* 20% of the energy will be generated from renewable sources such as solar, wind and geothermal energy.
* There will be pneumatic waste collection tunnels that will remove the need for rubbish trucks.

New Clark City (Philippines)

* 66% of the city will consist of green areas, such as farmlands and parks.
* The city will use the mudflow material, Lahar, as an eco-friendly alternative to concrete.
* Buildings will be equipped with technology that will reduce water and energy consumption.
* As the Philippines has an air-pollution problem which affects 98% of the residents, the new city will reliant on public transport.

Quayside, Toronto (Canada)

* 50% of the city’s roof will be solar panelled.
* By generating 10% of its power, the community will be semi-self-sufficient.
* Construction methods will be introduced to create buildings that are quicker, greener and cheaper to usual Toronto houses.

Pena Station (Colorado)
