Masdar has not solved it’s internal circulation system so far as I know. The original design (which was abandoned as too costly early on) provided for automated electric vehicles operating under a platform that was the pedestrian level. The pedestrial level featured narrow streets with no parking spaces. Currently there are several automated vehicles being operated under the small platform that was built. But no more platforms are going to be built and conventional electric cars will soon jam up the narrow streets and will have no place to park – unless the overall design for the rest of the city is changed drastically. Has it been? I don’t think so. What will they do to achieve unimpeded circulation within Masdar’s walls? Stay tuned.
