Dream Homes
People have very different ideas for their dream home-their perfect house or apartment. Some
people dream of a simple house in a special place. Others want a large house with every
convenience.
Is your dream home similar to any of the dream homes below?
Mukesh Ambani, a businessman in India, is the owner of the most expensive house in the world.
Ambani's dream house is 27 stories high, so it has room for everything his family needs and wants.
Mr. Ambani owns a lot of cars, so the first six floors of 10 his house are just for cars. Another floor
of the house has a movie theater with seats for 50 people. Two floors of the house are for a health
center with a gym and a swimming pool. Another floor is for guests of the Ambani family. The
four floors at the top of the building are just for the Ambani family. From there, they have a view
of the Arabian Sea.
Henry David Thoreau, an American writer, lived from 1817 to 1862. At the age of 28, he built his
perfect house. It was a very small house-just 10 feet by 15 feet (3 m by 4.5 m). Inside there were
just three chairs, a bed, a table, and a small desk. The location of his house was very important to
Thoreau. He built his house in the woods close to a beautiful lake.
Dikembe Mutombo, a professional basketball player, built a very different type of dream home.
Mutombo grew up in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but he moved to the United States to
study. He wanted to be a doctor, but instead he became a famous basketball player. Mutombo's
dream home is in the Congo, and it has beds for 150 people. It also has an emergency room, many
exam rooms, and some beautiful gardens. Mutombo didn't build his dream home for himself.
Instead, he built it for the people in his native country. Mutombo's dream home is a hospital.

A City Without Oil

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a country with a lot of oil. Oil brings the country billions of
dollars each year. So why is the UAE building a city that uses very little or no oil? The answer is
simple: oil will not last forever. But there is another resource people can use instead of oil-the sun.
In fact, engineers are now building a new city that uses mostly solar energy for its power. The city
is called Masdar, and it is about 20 miles (32 km) from Abu Dhabi, one of the largest cities in the
UAE. If it is a success, Masdar will be the first city in the world that uses little or no oil. Masdar is
a small city-only 2.3 square miles (6 sq. km). In the future, it will hold 50,000 people, more than
1,000 companies, and a university. Its streets are very narrow. The houses are dose to each other.
The shade from the houses helps keep the streets cool. There are no cars on the streets of Masdar.
Because the city is so small, people can walk to most places.
If they get tired, they can use the PRT: Personal Rapid Transit. These small, solar-powered cars
move underground, like a subway. The cars have no drivers. People just tell the car where they
want to go, and it takes them there.
Masdar will reuse as many resources as possible. It will reuse about 80 percent of its water and
change most of its waste into more energy. People in Masdar are even using building materials that
they can reuse in the future.
Can this city really be successful? No one knows. But if it is, there could be other low-energy
cities around the world in the future.
What do you think? Answer the questions.
What is the most interesting thing you learned about Masdar?

Would you like to live in Masdar? Why or why not?
