The project is divided in three main
phases:
-Step 0. Defi nition of a concept of ur-
ban expansion based on the analysis of
other major cities all over the word
and territorial data (i.e. artifi ciali-
ty, pollution etc.).
-Step 1. Decontamination of soil and
water using different phytodepurative
species, according to the environment;
these, at the end of their biologi-
cal cycle, are used to produce biomass
energy. Energy plants are provided by
the recover of existing industrial
structures and infrastructures.
-Step 2. Development of a sustainable
city based on the creation of a network
of energy plants and urban centrali-
ties: research, residential, sports,
cultural centers that will take place
inside restored industrial buildings.
