For the first time the Vibrant Gujarat summit is set to ink an MoU for a carbon neutral city at Matar in Kheda district on AHmedabad's outskirts at a cost of Rs 630 crore. Matar is set to be brought under the Ahmedabad Met-Metropolitan Authority. The concept will not just enable residents to be more environment friendly by emitting less polutants through a cool walk-to-work ambience, the key to the carbon neutral city would be architectural techniques that will provide ample shake through trees or building structures and help generate cool breeze. The ciy would also be powerd by solar energy.

Teh concept is based on the world's first carbon neutral city - "MasdarCity" - unveiled this January on Abu Dhabi's desert out-skirts followed by China's beach town by Rizhao where solar energy will be used to power the city.
