The eco-cities are intended to be self-sufficient in energy, water and most food products, with the aim of zero emissions of greenhouse gases in transport systems.
Sounds fairly encouraging. Oh, and as is always the case with these type of deals, there is a press release from Arup, the company hired for the job. Check for an Arup office near you!

I also read an article about pollution in the countryside(farmland)that mentioned how highly polluted the waters and streams were around the large industrial cities of china.The article that I read talked about the extremely high numbers of cancers,of all types, that farmers were getting due to polluted water.This water was described as"black water".There was no other water source for these farming people so they had to drink it and as a result they were getting all kinds of cancer and were dieing at a very high rate.The chinese government was doing nothing about this problem,but they can build eco-cities?
Why not ask why!?
