...None of the tech is cleaner or higher than Masdar City itself, designed by the greenish British architect Norman Foster. Beyond being completely powered by renewables - mostly rooftop solar panels - Masdar will be a car-free city. Instead, the designers will build a personal-rapid-transit (PRT) system, an automated cable-car-like network that will whiz residents around the city's streets. Planners unveiled a model of a PRT car on the summit's first day. With the sleek silhouette of a racing motorcycle, but with room for four passengers, the PRT seems to have escaped from the movie...

...Ahmet Davutoglu, Turkey's chief foreign policy architect and Erdogan's top adviser, summarized Turkey's new strategy as "zero problems with its neighbors." The reclusive Davutoglu wrote last year: "A central country with such an optimal geographic location cannot define itself in a defensive manner.
