The world faces a wonderful economic development, but it still finding difficulty in some issues that constitute an obstacle to this development. Especially it face the problem of climate that In particular, the world faces the problem of climate .It is an important issue that must be avoided to live in peace. There are multiple issues including climate such as : growth of population, traffic problems, high use of energy and high carbon dioxide. This is the key factors to the problem of weather. We have to find a solution for the increasing of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It is the reason of the high temperature of the land. Some States have a very basic strategy to deal with the summer temperature that can reach 50 ° C. They invent many of the techniques that suit the climate such as : Control systems to warm the rooms through the ceiling and distribution of sea water under the reefs. John Thomas, issued a few details about the technical project which is near Zayed City. It is an exciting technology that they will use it. Abu Dhabi has created new plans to solve the problem of hot weather, including plans developed for the distribution of sea water under the land to cool the sidewalks and seats. It is believed that he could reduce the temperature by at least 6 ° C. Moreover, Comparing between Routes with broad and high buildings, Abu Dhabi narrow the distance between their buildings that leads to cover these spaces which will reduce the generation of heat.

Cool Cities (Al Bateen Wharf)



Tourism development and Investment Company, have many ideas to develop Abu Dhabi, such as Grand Corniche Hotel, The Legoon Hotel & Offices, Al Bateen Wharf and more and more. In this essay I will talk about Al Bateen Wharf. It's will be signature waterfront destination with a san-Francisco- style Fishermen's. Also there will be marina and 5 stars hotel complex for tourism. The tourism development and Investment Company will put some good facilities in Al Bateen Wharf. For example, 400 hotel rooms serviced residential wing with 200 apartments and deluxe poolside and executive town homes. Also the more interesting facilities that's Berths for 285 fishing boats and 38 racing dhows. And about the features the company apply there health club and shipyard showcasing the ancient skills of Arabian dhow building. Also there are Hydraulic lift and Maintenance shed. In my opinion I think this project will impact a lot of positive and negative things, the positive side, and the company that will build in AD. The positive thing of AD is that it has a great status between other countries and nation. That will lead to an increase of the tourist's rate. However the negative side there will be increasing in many things such as traffic crowded. Also, there is one negative point left, when the company will start their project they should Destroy some building, so some people have to change there home location.
