Masdar City is a project in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates. Its core is a planned city, which is being built by the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, a subsidiary of Mubadala Development Company, with the majority of seed capital provided by the government of Abu Dhabi. Designed by the British architectural firm Foster and Partners, the city will rely entirely on solar energy and other renewable energy sources, with a sustainable, zero-carbon, zero-waste ecology.

Not bad at all.
Part II just posted
even at a max pop with 40K population at 2025 isn't that really more a college campus (aka the research "Institute") in terms of scale. while that is great it still seems more like a specialized/gated community not a "city"
also given the fact that the video profiles different tech/approaches to sustainability seems as if Masdar is still mostly a research campus not a true city with mature technologies.
although obviously we need that sort of research to occur.
