China Environmental News Digest has published a slideshow of eco-city Dongtan to accompany an article by Mackenzie Funk which first ran in Popular Science<\/a>:\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [Image: The proposed Dongtan site as seen from the Yangtze River. Green spaces are a integral part of the plan: all residents will be within walking distance public green areas.]\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n [Image: Hotels, theaters, and commercial centers border Dongtan’s harbor. Water taxis let out at the harbor pier and continue throughout the island’s canals.]<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n [Image: Centered around South Canal, this area of Dongtan will feature full-grown trees from already-built nurseries. Integrated wind turbines will provide electricity and low-rise compact buildings will be used for offices, institutions and residences. Water taxis running through the canal will carry people from Shanghai’s mainland and then around Dongtan itself.]<\/p>\n
