The City of the Future
skip to secondary navigationEcomagination
Imagine the world’s first carbon-neutral, zero-emission city. A city without cars, powered by the elements, where rainwater is harvested and waste becomes energy. With GE’s help that vision is becoming reality in the desert of Abu Dhabi.
Welcome to Masdar City, home of GE's first ecomagination center, where GE will develop the innovative technologies and services to help ensure the sustainability of our planet.
Our involvement with Masdar is part of a larger partnership GE has with the government of Abu Dhabi, to speed the development and implementation of future energy solutions.
As an anchor tenant of this landmark city, GE maintains its commitment to invest in the cutting-edge, environmental solutions of both today and tomorrow.
Masdar City is located roughly 11 miles from downtown Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Take a photo tour of this modern city that retains its traditional culture.
