EVA VIDAL: Perfect city vs Smart city

This week we have been talking about two different concepts: the concept of what we think it is an ideal or perfect city versus the concept of "smart city" and we have reached the conclusion that, like us, every smart city dreams of improving the quality of life of its inhabitants. After doing some research on what has been done so far in Barcelona (our nearest big city) to make the city smarter, we have been noting down some ideas that we will try to include in our future EUtopian Smart city.

Thanks to the eTwinning project "Let's build the 2050 EUtopian smart city", the 3rd of ESO students went to 22@ District in Barcelona. One of the first districst of urban innovation in the world. They visited Ca l'Alier, a building which stands out for being sustainable and smart. Then, they discovered the MediaTic building and the Poblenou Superblock. next, they saw Ca l'Aranyó, where the Pompeu Fabra university is located and finally the impressive Cuatrecasas building, Can Framis and the biophotovoltaic pots of the green wall in the "Butterflies garden". It was an amazing experience!

Eva Vidal/INS Els Planells/What have we been doing so far regarding the model of our smart city?

Image
After doing some research in the English class, we decided the most important aspects that our model should include and in the  technology and the robotics classes we have put everything into practice and we have started building the model of our smart city.  How have we worked so far? We have divided the work into groups. Each group has worked on different domains and together we are finishing it. We have a little bit of everything: a school, a hospital, a city hall, a swimming pool, a table for playing table tennis and much more. We are working on some wind turbines that will have an engine and hopefully we will be able to turn them on and make them work. Also we are building  a weather station. It has been fun so far building it and we are looking forward to seeing it finished. By the way, we have also chosen a name for our smart city, the most voted was ADSmart (From Artesa de Segre + smart;-) ).
