"When it was conceived over a decade ago by the Abu Dhabi government, Masdar City was envisioned as a blueprint for the sustainable city of the future. The plan was to combat the United Arab Emirate’s large ecological footprint with a completely carbon-neutral metropolis: it would be a global hub for the cleantech industry, powered by solar panels and wind tunnels, with a system of driverless electric cars taking the place of mass transit.

But building the 'city of possibilities' proved to be, well, kind of impossible."
