The TDIC Development


Angsana Resorts & Spa Eastern Mangroves


The most interesting TDIC Development for me is Angsana Resorts & Spa Eastern Mangroves. It is an eco-retreat designed to reflect the natural environment and offer an escape from the city’s urban sprawl set in a prime position within a protected mangrove environment. The Angsana Resorts &Spa is a haven of relaxation and rejuvenation.


The facilities that are available in this kind of TDIC Development are Angsana resort with 105 rooms. There are a lot of overwater villas. Also, there will be 52 luxury 3 bedroom apartments and 92 Marina apartments.


There are a lot of features in this project such as Marina facilities, Quayside promenade, Signature spa and I interpretation Educational Center.


Although there are facilities and features in this development, there are some positive about that. First, Abu Dhabi city will the most important city for tourism. Second positive is that will make people to have fun and interesting. This development also will make people to come for relaxation every time. Another positive is that the weather will become cool instead of hot. Otherwise, there are no negatives effects for this development.


In my opinion, I see this development is very great because it shows how Abu Dhabi trying to develop. This king of TDIC Development will change the weather of Abu Dhabi’s environment in the future. Also it will make Abu Dhabi to be ‘cool city’. This development will cause any problem but will attract the people to come every day.

Cool cities


Since the start of the industrial revolution, we had faced several dangerous problem such us earth environmental issues which include raise in population, traffic delays, and increase in use of energy and these can cause to raise the carbon dioxide level on the earth. In this case, if don’t solve these problems we will need to need another earth to replace our own, but we know it’s impossible to replace it, so we have to live in one earth and decrease level of carbon dioxide by one half which is know by cool earth 50. During 30 years ago Japan has improved energy efficiency by 37 % and oil consumption has decrease 8%. Over 90% of carbon dioxide emitted into the air comes from buildings and transportation. The best solution to solve these problems was making Cool Cities.




Cool Cities are cities that build to reduce global warming renewable energy instead of fossil fuel. There are two types of network in these cities, Residential type and Urban. Cool cities also contain several different zones such as business and public zone, Resident zone, culture and sports zone. Also it contains resort, solar powered plant forms zones. In these cities there are also some zones that are contain office, hotels and hospitals.

Climate Change and Global Warming



Most scientists believe that climate change is here and is human-induced, and that it will lead to more extreme weather patterns such as hurricanes and drought. Global warming means that the earth's overall air temp is rising. The one-two punch of carbon dioxide emissions and deforestation alter the global atmosphere. This is mainly from car exhaust, power plants and building emissions. When the earth's air temp rises even a few degrees, entire weather patterns change and get really extreme. This is already evident in the fierceness of hurricanes from Indonesia to New York City.
