Turkish project could give rise to island for 300,000 inhabitants [gallery]

Turkey is divided into two parts - the Asian and the European - by the Marmara Sea, and there is a project to build a canal (the Istanbul Canal) to connect these two regions. During the works, builders will have to dredge a huge amount of land, and a Turkish entrepreneur already has an idea of what to do with all this material.

According to core77, Dror Benshetrit's people presented the incredible project of building an island with the channel's dredged land - estimated at 1 billion cubic meters - which, besides being sustainable and having different environments, could serve of residence for a community of 300, 000 people.

Microecosystems

Named Havvda Island, the project leaders plan to build 6 hills, all hollow and focused for different purposes - sports and health, business, entertainment, education, a museum and a stadium - with a central area dedicated to shopping and food. .

Instead of conventional air-conditioning systems, the island will be cooled by a system that will use seawater itself, and the structure will generate surplus energy through solar panels distributed throughout the island and from wind power towers installed. near the place.

In addition, the waste generated will be sucked through a network of pipes and sent for recycling and the geodesic dome of the hills will serve to capture rainwater and form microecosystems for each of the island's environments.
