TACKLING THE BRIEF

5. It will fulfill all sustainable developement goals.

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

3. All sustainable and renewable energy,

2. We will have a closed system with water,

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

MAIN CITY GOALS

• Goal 11
• Goal 12,
• Goal 13,
• Goal 15.

• Goal 7,
• Goal 8,
• Goal 9,
• Goal 10,

• Goal 1
• Goal 2,
• Goal 3,
• Goal 6,

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

Our CITY LOCATION

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

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

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

The Green Belt

Our Design

The Eden Project

iNSPIRATION

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

• The Outer Ring: The fields for farms.

The CITY DESIGN

Our city will be split into three main rings:

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).

TRansport

Caring for our citizens and their health.

O3

citizen satisfaction

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.

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.

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.

Caring for our citizens

Tackling water, waste, energy, air and food.

O4

sustainableschemes

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.

Community gardens

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

Food Reuse scheme

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.

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.

Photobioreactors

Making our fashion industry sustainable for both materials and energy.

• 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.

Energy harvesting fashion

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

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.

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

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

COding, ai*, robots and sensors

Our plans for the final round.

O5

moving forward

City App

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

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

Investments

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

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.
