Description
- The Smart Forest City is completely food and energy-self-sufficient through its design of built and green spaces.
- The city would have 130,000 inhabitants. 400 hectares would consist of green spaces with 7,500,000 plants chosen by landscape architect Laura Gatti.
- With a ratio of 2.3 trees per inhabitant, the Smart Forest City “will absorb 116.000 tons of carbon dioxide with 5.800 tons of CO2 stocked per year”. Public parks, private gardens, green roofs, and green facades, help create a balance with the built footprint.
- Water is gathered at the entrance of the City, next to the desalination tower, and it is distributed “by a system of navigable canals in the whole settlement up to the agricultural fields that surround the urban area”.
- Public parks, green spaces, green roofs, and green facades, help create a balance with the built footprint
- Within the city, people circulate via internal electric and semi-automatic mobility, leaving their cars at the edges of the city.
- 3 networks of energy infrastructure, mobility, and green offer each inhabitant all the services he needs.
- There is also a center for advanced research working on issues of sustainability and would host universities, international organizations, and companies.
