Abu Dhabi has started to build what it says is the world’s first zero-carbon, zero-waste car-free city.
Masdar City will cost $22bn (£11.3bn), take eight years to build and be home to 50,000 people and 1,500 businesses.
The city will be mostly powered by solar energy and residents will move in travel pods running on magnetic tracks.

In 1940, Steuben Glass originally introduced Isamu Noguchi’s The Cat, an edition of five crystal plates. Based upon the same 1940 Noguchi drawing for Steuben, The Cat has been re-released in 2005 in a new limited edition of twenty-five.
