A monorail-like "personalized rapid transport system" snakes diagonally through the city and links Masdar to a metro line that runs to the center of Abu Dhabi as well as to the airport. A lot of the people in the streets will be students, since the main industry will be education and research; the city will house a science and technology university (being established in partnership with MIT). The builders of Masdar aim to attract private research labs and light manufacturing facilities to duplicate the creative synergy that has become familiar since Silicon Valley and Boston's Route 128. But here, much, much more concentrated.
