The problems, however, are not limited to pollution as the city’s infrastructure, water and power supplies are now completely overwhelmed by the influx of nomads, the city planner explained.
An ecological urban development
This is why Mongolia is planning Maidar City as an ecological urban development project with the help of Stefan Schmitz. The city, which is to draw most of its energy from renewable sources, will follow ecological principles and feature an independent drinking water supply as well as an environmentally-friendly and decentralized traffic and living concepts.
The urban planner told DW that Mongolia offers very good conditions for generating renewable energy. “There is a lot of wind in this area and the sun shines almost continuously during the winter.” A nearby wind farm is set to be expanded in order to meet the electricity needs of Maidar City.
And to the south of the city, land is already reserved for sustainable agriculture. This is to supply the city with food, and also aimed at halting the increasing desertification in the region. The city’s districts are planned in such a way that they exist independently of each other, with their own centers, noted Schmitz, pointing out that “public transport and electric cars will be a priority.”
