Summary for "Developing Sustainable Infrastructure in New Cities"

In the article “New Cities Foundation”, Cho (2014) believes that urban challenges must be considered in developing a sustainable infrastructure. She further mentions that 'Envision Sustainability rating system' is design to ensure the performance of infrastructure. Living in this era, infrastructures should efficiently serve the community by improving the quality of life. She further shares her focus on its assessment on King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) and its key challenges of urbanization. In context of sustainability against growth, she hopes that with the right projects, it will be able to help the communities and cities to function more efficiently as a whole.

  1. Hi Nic!
    Overall i think that your summary is simple and precise. However, I think there's some things to be edited. Such as,

    "She further mentions that 'Envision Sustainability rating system' is design to ensure the performance of infrastructure. Living in this era, infrastructures should efficiently serve the community by improving the quality of life. " i think the word "design" should be designed and instead of "Living in this era, infrastructures should..." maybe "infrastructures in this era should..." would be a better form of writing it.

    sorry if i'm doing this wrong. =X
