TACKLING THE BRIEF

O1

The Sustainable Development Goals

MAIN CITY GOALS

1. It will be independent from outside trade with a circular economy,

2. We will have a closed system with water,

3. All sustainable and renewable energy,

4. The city will cover all social needs of citizens,

5. It will fulfill all sustainable developement goals.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

In the brief, we are told to create a sustainable (and self-sufficient) city. The UN provides goals to help us address 'all elements of sustainability' as asked of us in the brief. This round we covered:

About our city

O2

Our location, layout, and design.

Our CITY LOCATION

iNSPIRATION

Our Design

The Green Belt

The Eden Project

Our design combines both of these ideas with our use of the geodesic domes and belt of farms and green spaces.

Used to prevent urban sprawl and provides green spaces for the citizens to enjoy.

Uses ETFE foil to insulate the area and control the climate inside the geodesic domes.

The CITY DESIGN

Our city will be split into three main rings:

• The Inner Ring: Holds social buildings (e.g schools and hospitals),
• The Second Ring: The residential area.

• The Outer Ring: The fields for farms.

TRansport

In making our city walkable (the farms and social areas being accessible from the residential area in 15 minutes) we can eliminate the need for individual transport such as cars. However, for people who do not want to walk or have difficult with movement, they can take the automated trams ran on sustainable power (resulting in no emissions)! Other transport options consist of boats or bikes (which farm geo-mechanical energy).

Caring for our citizens and their health.

Caring for our citizens

Jobs and Benefits

The City App

Entertainment

Entertainment will consist of libraries with public computers, rooms to host or participate in community events or clubs, free educative courses and VR rooms, sports facilities and cinemas.

All jobs will be equal in benefits along with basic naecessities to live provided for free such as food, shelter, education and healthcare. This is to limit hunger and poverty.

The city app aims to act as an information hub for citizens so they can post on community forums, redistrubute extra food, redeem sustainability vouchers and access support.

Tackling water, waste, energy, air and food.

Community gardens

Gifting neighbourhoods with their own mini farms to care for to encourage subsistence farming.

By implementing greenhouses with aquaponic farming in neigbourhoods, we can help enforce a sense of community as survey takers have asked for while providing food through fish and plants for the community. This also eliminates the use of chemical fertilisers which could damage soil and microclimates in it and reduces waste by recycling water.

Food Reuse scheme

Redistrubuting spare food where necessary, and either composting or using left overs for biofuels.

To reduce food waste, a large contributor of greenhouse gases, any unwanted/unused food would either be redistrubuted around the community/neighbourhood, composted, or used for bio-fuels depending on its condition. Compost bins will be built in to the city similary to how general waste bins are at current. These will be bokashi compost bins to conserve space and prevent rats, and the chute will close over after use to tackle issues with the smell.

Photobioreactors

Utilising liquid trees for dealing with waste sustainably and cleaning our air.

Algae photobioreactors can absorb up to 50 times more CO2 than trees while taking up less space and less time to make and grow. This makes them incredibly useful for a city where space needs to be efficiently managed. They can also be used to clean waste, making photobioreactors multipurposeful.

Energy harvesting fashion

Making our fashion industry sustainable for both materials and energy.

A part of our plan for a circular economy is ensuring clothing is sustainable. This includes:

• Use of of recyclable/recycled materials, redistributing any unwanted clothing, and recycling any unfit for reuse,
• Including bio-mechanical harvesters for sustainable energy which could be at joints or on soles of shoes.

COding, ai*, robots and sensors

Using modern technology to reduce our wastage and to control our climate.

To reduce waste and complete undesired/unsafe work we can use:

Robots, sensor systems, and AI.

Some examples are: Agriculture sniper bots, or the soil moisture sensors to be used by drones of farmers as demonstrated.

* Given environmental concerns on generative AI, to reduce emissions our team/city consists of no AI generated content to promote creativity and sustainability.

moving forward

O5

Our plans for the final round.

Steps moving forward

City App

We will design a city app interface to assist citizens in daily life.

Investments

We will look into partnering with other countries towards the SDGS.

Economy

We will look in greater detail at jobs and how to encourage citizens.

thanks!

Las Pampas, Argentina

Las Pampas is a patch of fertile farmland in Argentina, with many flat areas pefect for building our city. The reasons we think this area works so well for our city are:

• Solar power,

• Fertile,
• Flat land,
• Rainfall,
• Nearby water supply.
