Let's build the 2050 EUtopian Smart City

The city of the future

A nice place to live in

We studied world metropolis and worked on 3 commmon issues :

- transport and problems of mobility

- housing to deal with the increase of population

- activities that highlight inequalities of development

WHAT IS A SMART CITY ?

In geography and English classes, we studied smart cities and we focussed on the city of PARIS. We analysed the problems and solutions they propose for the city and tried to find more solutions.

Students from an the engineer school HEI Lille (classe préparatoire) came to our school in January to help us find innovative and realistic solutions in each domain.

We also discussed these ideas in the forum with our partners.

BUILDING OUR MODEL

To build our model, we divided the class into groups and each group built a part of our model. Then, we presented them to the class, our teachers and the engineer students. They also asked us many questions !

Our "smart city" model

The city of the future

We made models on geometric plates and eventually played the Minecraft game and created a virtual city of the future. In this city people will have adequate housing, traffic will not harm the environment, and the connection of all parts of the city will be effective; residents will be provided with a constant supply of fresh and organically grown food; modern medical care will be available to everyone, etc.

Our ideal city

Do you want to know which is our idea of an utopian city?

Our ideal smart city is a less polluted city with fewer cars, respect to nature, electric cars, more bikes, waste collection and water recovery. For constructions, we would prefer to build green areas, building for entertainment (cinema, theatre,zoo) and smart buildings for deaf, mute and blind. For technologies, it would be useful to create some technologies for disabled people, also traffic lights, crosswalk and alarms. For energy, we would use solar panels, renewable and clean source energies. Smart citizens would be citizens who make public participation and no exclusions. Most of all, a smart city would be a clean city

The 2050 EUtopian Smart City

"If you want to change the future, you must change what you are doing in the present."

After doing a lot of research, analyzing which are the current actions that are being done in cities considered to be smart like Barcelona, London or Paris, and discussing what we could do as concerned students-citizens to improve the quality of life of people living in big cities, we have agreed on pointing out the main features the 2050 EUtopian smart city would have and on suggesting solutions to the problems that our cities are currently facing today.

We are convinced that thinking about the future will help us to change our habits today and make them meaningful.

Let's build the 2050 EUtopian Smart City

Key Sustainability Actions

KEY SUSTAINABILITY ACTIONS

1. Making our buildings and infrastructures more intelligent and eco-friendly.

From our point of view, if we improve the places where we live or work, we will be able to change our way of life and improve the world that we know. So, we agreed on the fact that transforming buildings into intelligent and eco-friendly ones will make also our lives easier and more sustainable.

We propose building inductive charging lanes so that vehicles can charge without even stopping at all. All the buildings should include domotics and smart technology based on the IoT (Internet of Things) to improve energy efficiency. Sensors, for example, would collect the data needed to automatically control lighting, heating, and cooling.

In our EUtopian smart city all the buildings will be considered energy-positive buildings, because they will generate more energy than the one they actually consume due to its bioclimatic architecture, which integrate glass surfaces, thermal walls, isolation, green roofs, water collection and cross ventilation.

In the outskirts, food will be grown in glass domes. And its conditions for growing will be perfect. It will be monitored, harvested and delivered by robots.

2. Using only renewable energies

We became aware that fossil fuels will run out sooner or later since they are finite and, even if the old ways of harnessing energy were easy and fast, it is better to use renewable energies because they don’t harm our ecosystem. Besides, if we want to put an end to global warming, we better start using energies like the wind-generated one, the solar, the hydroelectric or the biomass energy, which leave virtually no footprints and have low-emission-rates.

In our smart city, there will be aerogenerators to produce electricity. Also a tower and a heliostat field in a thermosolar power plant to produce electricity and hot water, which, in turn, will be used to heat and cool buildings by underground pipes.

There will be also photovoltaic panels located in public buildings, parking meters, traffic lights, public signs, road signs and charging stations to produce electricity. It will have a solar thermal installation to heat sanitary water and, also, indoor swimming pools. What’s more, the paving stones in the streets will be really smart. Thanks to the citizens’ footsteps they will produce off-grid, clean-electricity that we will use for street lighting. These paving stones will also generate geothermal energy that will help to melt the snow when it snows. In most of the buildings there will also be flexible solar cell sheets and solar ink to make them energy-positive.

3. Transforming our city into a “city of proximities”

Smart mobility gives us the possibility to have a lot of public services within a 15 minutes walking or cycling distance and helps people get to their destinations faster. It brings many more benefits like less traffic, transportation becomes much safer and accidents and fatalities should decrease. Besides, smart mobility is cheaper and more eco-friendly, so they kick out less CO₂ to the atmosphere. That’s why we propose that our citizens use the public transport a lot and that they share their cars. Smart parking systems will be used to help people save time and money.

In the car parks there will be self-sufficient charging stations. Most of the vehicles there will be electric. The bikes as well. They will also rechargeable when pedaling and the bike lanes will be aerial to improve riders’ security.

4. Taking care of the environment

Hunger, global warming, the increase of natural disasters, air, water and soil pollution, the use of pesticides in the fields, the extinction of species... All in all, everything is getting worse. Therefore, protecting the environment is so important because it creates livelihoods instead of destroying them and helps to ensure vital natural resources which will be available for us in the long term. If we want a good future and a nice life for our sons and daughters, we already know what we have to do: preserve and even improve the Earth since it is for all’s welfare.

In our city the internet of things (IoT) will be used to control environmental conditions with automated meteorological stations, which will have sensors that control temperature, noise, humidity, and atmospheric pressure among others in order to reduce pollution and improve not only air quality but also people’s health. Our city is considered to be a low emissions zone. Urban green spaces are all around the city and all of them have an intelligent irrigation system to save water.

5. Managing and reducing waste

In our day to day, we find lots of things that cause waste and pollute the environment. It’s important to know how much it damages the world and how to stop it. The IoTs have some solutions to keep record of the waste and to reduce it. Waste is everywhere and it’s important to stop it and it has to be now.

What will happen if we don’t fix it now? If we look at the records of pollution, we’ll see that temperatures are high and that 92% of the population breathes polluted air. If we don’t do anything, waste management will only get worse and rubbish will make our cities look dirtier and uglier.

We propose a pneumatic collection which will be available in a number of waste points or bins which are all connected to a central suction point by a network of underground pipes. This type of waste collection will allow residents to leave their waste at any time of day, reduce vehicle transit and avoid bad smells. In the gardens, people will make compost to enrich the soil, and help reain moisture and suppress plant diseases.

6. Engaging the community to encourage behavior change

What would life be like if there was no organization among citizens? Would it be a chaos? To get the city that we want, citizens must be engaged in the decision-making process. In fact, by participating in the important decisions of the city, we all have more chances to have the city that we want.

In our opinion we realized that it is very important to encourage the society to take part in important decisions. In our smart city, the town hall will boost citizen engagement because we are convinced that a city can only be improved when there’s a perfect harmony between a city’s officials and its citizens.

Furthermore, we agreed on the importance of promoting the 7 Rs which include: Recycle, Refuse plastic shopping bags, Reduce the rubbish, Reuse as much as possible, Repair avoiding planned obsolescence, Re-gift or sell and Recover.

By this way, for the animals, there will be a regulation that every dwelling building will adopt a street animal and take care of it until it dies.

We all deserve a better life with safe and clean places. The citizens will use smart apps to ask for help to their neigbours for everyday tasks. Also, the citizens will live a healty life with sport areas. In the future, obesity will not be a big problem anymore. They will live happily and healthily there.

7. Using technology

We noticed that technology is now much more important than years ago. Nowadays, it is an essential part of our lives. Smartphones, as they have been developed a lot, allow all citizens to have real time information about traffic, services and safety.

Quality of life has many dimensions, from having good air quality to feeling safe while walking down the streets. And we are sure that, if every day we work to have more technological resources, life would be better.

In our smart city citizens will receive city alerts related to pollution, traffic, parking… due to the sensors and surveillance cameras that will allow them to have information of this kind in real time. There will be smart maps on the billboards which will help people to reach their destinations easily. The hospital will be smart since there will be a health data system inside it. Every citizen will have a smart wristband informing the first aid service in terms of emergency.

By the way, Wi-Fi will be available everywhere. There will be also light sensors, which will allow the lampposts to turn off when there is nobody in the street. It will help to save energy and reduce emissions.

And one more thing! Have you heard of the V2G technology? While the cars are parked and plugged they will return electricity to the grid.

Mark Twain

We hope that you like our models and the job we have done and we wish that from now on you try also to be smarter citizens. Who knows if sooner or later some of these ideas can be implemented in our own towns! This would be our dream! But sometimes dreams can also come true. So, remember:

Small actions can create big change! Play your part and be smart!
