By harnessing big data, the eco city can keep a close watch on the city and the needs of its residents. If resources are to be used efficiently, then big data is required to make this happen. The eco city has broad streets and the air is clean and free of pollution. Dedicated routes for walking and cycling ensure people can safely move around the city. “Southern Innovator, United Nations Development Program (UNDP)’s quarterly magazine focusing on creativity and innovation emerging from the global South, published an article on the Eco-City entitled “Eco-Cities Up Close”. The article featured the Eco-City’s masterplan, green transport, efforts on waste water treatment and waste management, calling it “a replicable model for other cities in China and the global South”.”
