America’s First Eco-Sustainable City
Less than one hour south of Orlando, on 41,300 acres a city will start construction in 2011 that ultimately will be the home to nearly 250,000 residents. It will be the first city of its kind to be developed in the United States, and currently one of only three in the world. The other two in process are in England and China.
The ecosystem will be integrated into the infrastructure providing for a working green space and the preservation of the environment. It will be a self-contained, sustainable, networked community built around an urban core hub complete.
Eco Industrial Preserves will interconnect with a series of inter-connected villages. Sustainability will have a major impact as one company’s waste is expected to be another’s treasure providing for real cost savings.
A few of the major features include; tens of thousands of of acres of open space, 200 miles of navigable waterways, 1,300 acre fresh water lake, 61 miles of trail and bike paths, 14.5 miles of Rail transit, 84 miles of bus-tram-trolley routes, 299 miles of local streets, a downtown, business park, Eco-Industrial Center, schools, fly-in residential airport and an executive airport with a mixed-use terminal.
This project will certainly set the tenor for many more developments of a similar nature throughout the United States in the future. To follow the progress, simply click here: Destiny, Florida
