Summary of "Developing Sustainable Infrastructure in New Cities" (#Draft 1)
In the article “Developing Sustainable Infrastructure in New Cities”, Cho (2014) expressed the importance of sustainable infrastructure in a metropolitan setting and identified key areas in determining how infrastructure can add value to the community. Cho stated that economic-driven developments in new cities are affected by metropolitan challenges and therefore enhancement in functionality and durability of infrastructure are necessary to keep up with these developments. Cho further mentioned the economic, social and environmental effects on a community, which are to be taken into consideration. As an Impact King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) Fellow, Cho also explains how she intends to apply the Envision sustainability rating system as an impartial guideline to evaluate sophisticated infrastructure development. Cho used the Neuvo Nexcaxa- Ávila Camacho Highway in Mexico as fitting reference to how the Envision rating system would tackle these economic, social and environmental effects. In the course of the Fellowship, Cho “aims to provide an Envision evaluation on a major planned road that is expected to be a main entry point and arterial road in King Abdullah Economic City”, to satisfy KAEC’s extensive sustainable infrastructure development.

ReplyDelete- The citation presented is clear. (sophisticated)
- Key points included in the summary was explained clearly. (competent)
-The quotes are cited appropriately. ( sophisticated)
- “ Cho also explains how she intends to apply the Envision sustainability rating system as an impartial guideline to evaluate sophisticated infrastructure development.” [This sentence did not clearly specify the importance of sustainable infrastructure as it only mentioned the solution to the problem. ] (Developing)
- The sentence is too long. Instead of using conjunction to explain at one go , a pause in between would help. "Cho stated that economic-driven developments in new cities are affected by metropolitan challenges and therefore enhancement in functionality and durability of infrastructure are necessary to keep up with these developments." to "Cho stated that economic-driven developments in new cities are affected by metropolitan challenges, thus enhancement in functionality and durability of infrastructure are necessary to keep up with these developments." (Competent)
-The last sentence should conclude the whole summary instead of giving an aim for her next project. ( competent)
