The New “X”City-PRASINOSIntroduction to Prasinos

Prasinos is a city built on the east side of Malaysia which is Pahang and the city is located in the center of Taman Negara. The city is a small size city which is 35.17km2 and the is city is very near to the Gunung Tahan. Prasinos is a new green city and it mainly design for those citizen that love the nature. Eco-tourism will be the theme of the city. Prasinos will have busting economic activity and it providing its citizen and the country a certain amount of income. The aim of the city is to function as commercial,education and tourism hub. Prasinos promises healthy sustainable living, a new clean and green environment, efficient transport and economic growth to its citizens.

Prasinos is a city which is in square shape.As we can see that the location have high ground and low ground the high ground is untouched zone and it will becomes a forest reserve area.The estimated population of Prasinos is around 100,000-250,000 people.

The word “Prasinos” is from Greek which means green.This name that created is indicated that the city will mainly focus on green and nature live style.The Prasinos will divide into two parts which is high ground and low ground.The high ground will be untouched and it will create as forest conserve area and theme park.The lower ground will be divide into 4 layer due to the concept of tropical rainforest in Malaysia .

Why I created this city in Malaysia?

The population of Malaysia is booming and keep increasing from day to day.As Malaysia is a small country ,the is not much land available for new development and create more living space unless we keep on chop down our precious rainforest. Malaysia is a beautiful country that rich in natural resources hence we should use it wisely by not destroyed them instead of leaving it. As a nutshell ,the most logical solution to use our rich natural resources is by creating a city in the forest so that tourist and citizen can enjoy the natural and release their pressure in the natural.

A complete city should include some job opportunities so that citizen income and the economy system of the city will be stable .Hence here is the example of industry area I will created for the citizen:

1) Tourism Industry

2) Industrial Industry

3) Agricultural Industry

4) Education Industry

SKY scraper

Residential area

Every good city will have a significant tower which called as sky scraper.

For example, our mother country Malaysia have KLCC Twin tower which is

the significant tower of this country. So this is the design of sky scraper of

my city. The design shape is looks like a flower and this shows the nature

theme of my city. This sky scraper is used as government buildings, law

and administration center. On the top of the roof had set up solar panel to

absorb the sunlight and convert it into electrical energy for the

building .This building will placed at the highest ground of the city so that

it can absorb the maximum sunlight.

Every city have its own resident and

every own resident have its own

residential area.From the research of

modern city,most of their building are

schematic and standard shape to

indicate that there are same type of

building in their city.Hence,in my city I

ESCAPE is PRASINOS new genre of theme playground with interesting trips and tasks for everyone. ESCAPE is expected to become a world-class convenience and tourism destination that promotes a recognition of nature in an enjoyable and captivating manner.

One more significant attraction is the Tubby Racer, where you could toss on your own down a hill in a sizable rubber tyre. Other popular tourist attractions are the bungee leap system, Atan’s Leap, as well as the Gecko Tower, where you can pit yourself against the clock, and other competitors, to transport on your own to the best of the tower as soon as possible.

One more significant attraction is the Tubby Racer, where you could toss on your own down a hill in a sizable rubber tyre. Other popular tourist attractions are the bungee leap system, Atan’s Leap, as well as the Gecko Tower, where you can pit yourself against the clock, and other competitors, to transport on your own to the best of the tower as soon as possible.

Masdar City is an arcology project in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates. Its core is a planned city, which is being built by Masdar, a subsidiary of Mubadala Development Company, with the majority of seed capital provided by the Government of Abu Dhabi. Designed by the British architectural firm Foster and Partners, the city relies on solar energy and other renewable energy sources. The city is designed to be a hub for cleantech companies. Its first tenant is the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology.

In term of transportation:

The initial design banned automobiles, as travel will be accomplished via public mass transit and personal rapid transit (PRT) systems, with existing road and railways connecting to other locations outside the city. The absence of motor vehicles coupled with Masdar's perimeter wall, designed to keep out the hot desert winds, allows for narrow and shaded streets that help funnel cooler breezes across the city

In term of architectural design:

Masdar is a sustainable mixed-use development designed to be very friendly to pedestrians and cyclists. Masdar City has terracotta walls decorated with arabesque patterns. From a distance, the city looks like a cube. A 45-meter (148 ft) high wind tower modeled on traditional Arab designs sucks air from above and pushes a cooling breeze through Masdar's streets. The site is raised above the surrounding land to create a slight cooling effect. Buildings are clustered close together to create streets and walkways shielded from the sun.

Personal View:

Masdar City is a great city which mainly concern on green state of living,whilist expanding alongside the growth of technology.Strong economical structure and well-developed transport system is the things I should learn and apply in my city.The public mass transportation which can reduce amount of carbon emissions is a good design that should be use wisely in all city include my city.The climate of Abu Dhabi and Malaysia is almost same so I hope I can apply the good concept of its city into my city.

VANCOUVER, CANADA

Vancouver in Cananda now consistently performing well in worldwide “livable city” rankings, Vancouver has an ambitious goal of becoming the “the greenest city in the world” by 2020. They already lead the world in hydroelectric power—making up 90 percent of its supply—as well as regularly tapping into renewables like wind, solar, and wave power.

For the mass transit, bike lanes (248 miles worth), ride sharing programs, and greenways, Vancouver has the lowest per capita carbon emissions of any major city on the continent.

As part of their 2020 goals, they aim to decrease emissions an additional 33 percent, while also enacting strict green building codes (all new developments must be carbon neutral) and improving the energy efficiency of existing structures by 20 percent.

One area where Vancouver could improve is in their use of electric vehicles. The Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association estimates there are only 20 pure electric vehicles on city roads. This is largely due to availability, with the Chevy Volt only just released in Canada and the Nissan Leaf expected later this fall. While there are only 15 charging stations currently planned, city officials are planning more for the future and expect EVs to account for 15 percent of new vehicle sales in Vancouver by 2020.

Personal View:

Vancouver in Cananda is a well develop green city.The design of their city is in modern and high technology form.While they develop a city they will concert about the importance of natural and build up the renewable energy source as their main source in daily life.This is the good example that I should learn from it apply to built in my future city.Their electric vehicle is also one of the good idea that can be generate and improve it in my city.This city will be one of the best example that I will look up when I built my city.

CultureThe culture of Malaysia draws on the varied cultures of the different people of Malaysia. The first people to live in the area were indigenous tribes that still remain; they were followed by the Malays, who moved there from mainland Asia in ancient times. Chinese and Indian cultural influences made their mark when trade began with those countries, and increased with immigration to Malaysia. Hence when we build the city we should concern about our country culture.

Here are the example list of cultural buildings that built in my city:

1) Mosque2) Chinese Temple3) Church4) Hindu Temple

Agriculture is the cultivation of animals, plants, fungi, and other life forms for food, fiber, biofuel, medicinal and other products used to sustain and enhance human life.Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that nurtured the development of civilization.

The major agricultural products can be broadly grouped into foods, fibers, fuels, and raw materials. Specific foods include cereals (grains), vegetables, fruits, oils, meats and spices. Fibers include cotton, wool, hemp, silk and flax. Raw materials include lumber and bamboo. Other useful materials are produced by plants, such as resins, dyes, drugs, perfumes, biofuels and ornamental products such as cut flowers and nursery plants.

The main agricultural product will be plant in PRASINOS are:

1) Sugar cane2) Maize3) Rice4) Wheat5) Potatoes6) Sugar beet7) Soybeans8) Cassava9) Tomatoes10) Barley

Waste managementThe increasing number of municipal solid waste management has become the biggest environmental problem in Malaysia . Population growth has led to the increase in generation of solid wastes in Malaysia and it has become a crucial issue to be solved. The waste generated are from sources like domestic, industrial and commercial and it shows an increasing trends throughout the world. Due to this reason, solid waste management plays an important role in maintaining a sustainable environment.

In addition, construction waste is part of the waste generated and categorized under solid waste construction waste materials can be defined as the comprising of unwanted materials generated during construction. Furthermore, pollution caused by construction waste has caused negative impacts towards the environment and leads to economic lose

From my opinion , waste product should be generated accordingly so that the nature can be conserved and the pollution would not happen in PRASINOS.

Hence,there will be a waste management factories to clean up the waste product in the city

Fertiliser productionA fertilizer is any material of natural or synthetic origin (other than liming materials) that is applied to soils or to plant tissues (usually leaves) to supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants. Fertilizers enhance the growth of plants. This goal is met in two ways, the traditional one being additives that provide nutrients. The second mode by which some fertilizers act is to enhance the effectiveness of the soil by modifying its water retention and aeration. Fertilizers are commonly used for growing all crops, with application rates depending on the soil fertility, usually as measured by a soil test and according to the particular crop. Legumes, for example, fix nitrogen from the atmosphere and generally do not require nitrogen fertilizer.

From my opinion,use the waste

product of human,plants and

animal to produce fertilizer is a

kind of good low budget and

high efficient method in boots

up PRAZINOS economic.

RecyclingRecycling is a process to change waste materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to plastic production. Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle" waste hierarchy.

Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics. The composting or other reuse of biodegradable waste—such as food or garden waste—is also considered recycling. Materials to be recycled are either brought to a collection center or picked up from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials bound for manufacturing.

From my opinion ,

recycle centre should be

built up in city so that

the pollution rate of the

city can be

decrease .Reduce ,Reus

e and Recycle the

recyclable item should

be keep practice by

citizen so that can keep

our forest city clean and

green

Solar panelSolar panel refers either to a photovoltaics (PV) module, a solar hot water panel, or to a set of solar photovoltaics modules electrically connected and mounted on a supporting structure. A PV module is a packaged, connected assembly of solar cells. Solar panels can be used as a component of a larger photovoltaic system to generate and supply electricity in commercial and residential applications. Each module is rated by its DC output power under standard test conditions, and typically ranges from 100 to 320 watts. The efficiency of a module determines the area of a module given the same rated output – an 8% efficient 230 watt module will have twice the area of a 16% efficient 230 watt module. There are a few solar panels available that are exceeding 19% efficiency. A single solar module can produce only a limited amount of power; most installations contain multiple modules. A photovoltaic system typically includes a panel or an array of solar modules, an inverter, and sometimes a battery and/or solar tracker and interconnection wiring.

From my opinion, PRASINOS is a good city to install and place the solar panel

due to its hot climate.PRASINOS is located at Malaysia and most of the day is

sunny day so that if build up solar panel can save up the city electric fees and

is more green and more high technology.

WIND powerWind power is extracted from air flow using wind turbines or sails to produce mechanical or electrical power. Windmills are used for their mechanical power, windpumps for water pumping, and sails to propel ships. Wind power as an alternative to fossil fuels, is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation, and uses little land. The net effects on the environment are generally less problematic than those from nonrenewable power sources.

Large wind farms can consist of hundreds of individual wind turbines which are connected to the electric power transmission network.

From my opinion,wind power is a

good source which have low budget

and can get high efficient new

technology which can be apply in

PRASINOS.The wind power can work

with solar energy which the solar

energy set as main energy in the city

and wind power energy set as backup

energy in the city.By using wind

power energy can reduce down the

pollution and it is more green and

more nature.
