As more and more people concentrate in cities, planners are looking for ways to transform cities into better living spaces, which can be done by improving existing infrastructure while also creating more public spaces that are both beautiful and green. This can be hard to accomplish, especially in cities with a haphazard fashion. Some cities have been created with the idea of a green city as the goal.

One such city, Masdar City in the United Arab Emirates, aims to become a model for other cities to follow. It is known as a truly green city that relies strictly on renewable sources such as solar energy to provide all of its energy needs. In addition, it will be a zero-waste city in which everything that is used can be recycled. Whether it will truly accomplish its goal remains to be seen, but it will also act as an experiment for environmentally friendly areas to be tested.
