  5. “Our biggest challenge in the new century is to take an idea that seems abstract sustainable development and turn it into a daily reality for all this world’s people” Kofi Annan "... last time I went to Dongtan, there was a farmer selling tickets to watch his pigs jump through hoops of fire in a field. But no eco-city".

  6. Greenwasher of the year: Arup still pushing Dongtan UK engineering giant Arup is keen to be seen as your sustainable project manager of choice. For years Ethical Corporation pointed out its claims to be the lead developer on a non-existent “sustainable city” – Dongtan, near Shanghai in China. The project has been cancelled and nothing was ever built even though lots of farmers were forced off their land in preparation by the Chinese government. And while the project was on hold and going nowhere, Arup executives were touring the world touting their credentials as master developers. Their chutzpah is admirable. It takes real b***s to spend years discussing a non-existent eco-city in your Powerpoint presentations to beef up your marketing. http://www.ethicalcorp.com/communications-reporting/greenwasher-%E2%80%93-december-2009-january-2010
