Alma eco-cities ltd is leading a paradigm shift in eco-city planning and development, Alma eco-cities develops high-density, ultra resource efficient zero-petroleum cities Alma is a leading-edge city planning and development company, addressing the emerging multi-trillion dollar Eco-city market. The Challenge Population growth, rapid urbanization, inefficient use of resources, threats to energy security and independence and fears of climate change has created the need for a new paradigm of urban design and development. Over the next twenty years China and India are each expected to add more than 300 Million people to their urban populations, and to construct hundreds of new cities to accommodate them. South America, South Korea, and South Africa, among many others are facing similar trends. The type of cities that are built for these new urban dwellers will have an immense impact for better or for worse on some of today's largest global problems and will likely constitute a multi-trillion dollar market. According to the World Bank: "We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to plan, develop, build and manage cities that are simultaneously more ecologically and economically sustainable." Alma has been established to meet this defining 21st century challenge. Alma: The Vision Alma addresses this challenge by developing high density, ultra-resource efficient urban environments. Characteristics of Alma-designed cities include: • Preserving the diversity and charm of traditional cities, while achieving outstanding levels of convenience, efficiency and quality of life. • 100% powered by renewable energy. • Reduction of energy consumption by two thirds. • Zero-Petroleum consuming cities: high density building and innovative transportation systems eliminate the need for gasoline powered vehicles within the city. • More open space in and around the city enabling a lifestyle that combines the best of urban living with greater harmony and proximity to nature. Strategy To achieve this vision at competitive cost requires the capacity and organizational culture to build innovative technology into urban planning. Our competitive advantage is in the integration of key elements in urban environments: • Advanced architecture and Eco-city design. • Pier to Pier Transportation for people and packages. • Commercialization of advanced, low cost building materials. • Incorporation of 100% renewable energy supply into city design. To facilitate this integration, Alma develops proprietary technology and optimization analytics for city planning. .
