Wanted: Natural Residents - Summary

Part 1 - Summary
The writer talked about a small town which is located in Sweden. This city is not only for human, but there are also birds, bats, and insects who live in cozy nesting boxes.

This town was built on reclaimed industrial land and contains several developments which are designed to promote sustainable urban living. Green innovations were a target to the planners by using waste management, renewable energy and sustainable transport. Each developer must choose ten “green features” from a list of 35 features to be an acceptable design. A lot of different species have been recorded as breeding in the town. Some people who live there feel very comfortable about the life there. Birds and salamanders have been seen in their home. The developers are now planning to develop the two next phases. They had good lessons from the first phase which will help them put more features and developments in the next buildings. Location and appearance are important reasons to the people to buy their homes but in this town green lifestyle is one more reason to buy. Toddlers’ playgrounds and some activities which are built on one of the roads which lead to the sea are designed for children between 1 to 5 years old. They will expect and demand to live in green houses.
In conclusion, this town encourages developers to build more projects which are friendly to the environment.


Part 2 – Main Idea
The main idea in the article was about the new project in Sweden which gave the most priority to the green innovations in its design. It concentrated on green lifestyle features and how to develop it. Last thing is why people would live there and what the benefits of living there are.



Part 3 – Comments
· I think the article is well-organized because the writer divided the article to many paragraphs to make it easier to the reader to understand.
· I think the article is very important and encourages people and countries to build green houses and towns. Actually, that is one of the solutions to the Global Warming Issue.
· I would like to learn more about the green features and how we can use them here in the UAE.
