More details have been revealed of plans for an eco city in Florida, something that may interest those keen to invest in property in the USA.
The city of Destiny, to be built in Osceola County, will use water as a way of containing urban sprawl and a means of providing transportation under plans to be unveiled today, reports the Orlando Sentinel.
Built across 41,300 acres, the city will have a large number of navigable waterways and is planned to expand to hold as many as 250,000 residents 50 years from now.
There will also be cycleways, a floating market and hiking paths.
Such a development may particularly interest those keen on investing in environmentally friendly property.
Last month it was revealed that among the plans for Destiny will be the inclusion of an energy farm.
This will showcase the latest techniques for producing energy crops such as sweet sorghum, algae and jatropha, Marketwatch reported.
