The Spanish based Gemasolar power station is approximately 185 hec-
tares, and produces 19.9 MW of power (110GW per year, sufficient power
to supply 27,500 homes. (Wikipedia, Gemasolar, 2014)

While this insufficient in size to generate enough energy to power each
petal, the technology is continues to improve and can help each communi-
ty have it’s own determination of energy. In addition, is a sewerage settle-

ment plant to help generate drinkable water.

The Central Business District of the Al Gharbia AeroMedina design pro-
vides a combination of offices, two hotels, inner-city residential apart-
ments, entertainment, a major hospital, and other retail related facilities.
The heights of the buildings are designed to graduated lower the closer
one gets to Airport runway. A series of linear spread, geodesic-shaped

domes, and hyper-domes are located close to the office towers, to ensure
entertainment, including sports, but all housed for cool climatic condi-
tions during the approximately summer-like months.

The CBD is planned with pedestrian boulevards that are spatially de-
signed to a single focal point, close to the airport, where commuters have
the option to fly their PALV to a centralised point and take an Industrial

lift moves their PALV into the basement parking level. The alternative
to flying is for residents of the Petals to drive their PALV under the lower
basement plinth to park under the CBD. They access the upper flower
towers and other facilities via a series of equally spaced stairs and lift fa-
cilitated stations.
