London, England (CNN) — Eco-designers are fond of showing us how the future might look but are often guilty of luxuriating in form at the expense of function. Happily, “Sustainable Futures,” a new exhibition at the London’s Design Museum has steered clear of green frippery favoring instead to focus its attention on a clutch of projects that not only look good, but do good too. From models of Curitiba in Brazil — an environmental role model where recycling and efficient transport were established decades ago — to Masdar, in the United Arab Emirates which is scheduled to be completed in 2016 and is being touted as the world’s first zero-carbon city, a range of city building projects are showcased.
