1 Introduction
Against the background of economic and technological changes caused by the
globalization and the integration process, cities in Europe face the challenge of
combining competitiveness and sustainable urban development simultaneously. Very
evidently, this challenge is likely to have an impact on issues of Urban Quality such as
housing, economy, culture, social and environmental conditions.

2 Definition
Smart cities can be identified along six main axes or dimensions. These axes are: a
smart economy; smart mobility; a smart environment; smart people; smart living; and,
finally, smart governance. These six axes connect with traditional regional and
neoclassical theories of urban growth and development. In particular, the axes are
based - respectively - on theories of regional competitiveness, transport
and ICT economics, natural resources, human and social capital, quality of life, and
participation of citizens in the governance of cities.
Figure 1:The well performing in 6 characteristics.
A city can be defined as smart when investments in human and social capital and
traditional (transport) and modern (ICT) communication infrastructure fuel sustainable
economic development and a high quality of life, with a wise management of natural
resources, through participatory.

3 Ecocity Logroo
3.1 Situation
The intervention is in Logroo, in the north of Spain. The architects of Smart city are
MVRDV and the Spanish study.
3.2 Project explanation
The riojanos government try to create an Eco city in Logroo, it will has an area about
56 hectares and it will be located in the north of the city, at the small hill of Montecorvo
y Fonsalada. Nowadays this area hasnt got anything relacionate with energy
generation. This place will give to the neighborhood a high nice view over the city. All
the energy needer for this project will be generate by solar and wind action.
Figure 2: The inventions place.
All of it will cost around 388 million.40 million will be invested in renewable energytechnology. MVRDV won the competition in collaboration with the Spanish architecture
office GRAS. The client is Logrooscity, the project will be developed by the Spanish
companies LMB y Progea Group.
The master plan is based on a compact linear design, which only covers 10% of the
territory, respecting the environment. The 90 % will be destinated for parks and energy
generation. It is expected around 3000 public housing, with commercial spaces, urban
parks andequipment like school, social and sport buildings. The city will have a water
recovery system.

The most important equipment will be the center of research a promotion renewable
energy and energy efficiency. It will be hiding in the top of one hill; moreover it will
generate a large space to look the environment and a museum space.As well it will be
built a funicular to arrive to the museum and to the hidden space to look the
environment.
Figure 3: The relation between people and building.
The houses are based on a curvilinear axis, which it hugs both of hill. All of houses will
be oriented north-south, thanks of it; they will have an optimalnatural lighting and
ventilation. All of building will have green.
Figure 4: Uses area.
The remaining landscape becomes a eco-park, a synopsis between park surfaces and
energy production. As the streets are southoriented, the solar power is easily
generated. In the south hill we can find all of relacionated with solar energy, in the top

of the hill there will be wind mills. It will work as a reference point for the development
of the area.
Figure 5: Section and environment.
All these measure will allow that the new development can reach a CO2 neutral foot
print and the highest energy efficiency of Spain. The project will have a pneumatic
system waste collection and selective treatment of waste, pedestrian walkways, bicycle
line, etc.
Figure 6:Different section.
3.3 Important point
But the most impressive is that all the energy required is generated by solar cells and
wind turbines.
3.4 Objectives
Improve quality of life
Recovery environment and degraded areas.
Efficient use of resources. Decreased power consumption of the CO2 emission.
Recycle and Reuse
Promotion of clean or renewableenergy. Looking for the energy balance.
Increase the number of public housing.

4 Ecocity Zaragora
4.1 Introduction
Zaragoza, a Spanish city of 674.725 inhabitants and which is developed around an
important river called Ebro. Zaragoza applied to be a host city of the 2008 Water Expo.
The Eco-City Valdespartera with 10,000 inhabitants was built as a pilot project for this
EXPO.
In 2001 a former military barracks site was rezoned for housing construction.
EcociudadValdespartera was founded to implement projects with 80% support from the
city and 20% from the federal government. Two banks which the city has shares in
were also included in the process. Apartments were raised and sold as subsidized
housing.
Cooperation with various faculties of the University of Zaragoza was secured for the
ecological concept. Valdespartera also participated in the EU programme Concerto
and has been selected as a model project for the Sustainable Regions Programme,
which is designed to collect data on ecological regions.
4.2 Project explanation
This is a project based on environmentalsustainability and with bioclimatic profit criteria
that tries to satisfy the Kyotos protocol.
The main objective was to get an optimal environmental conditions and not only an
energetic save. The way is to plan the correct morphology and typology. The second
objective was to build an urban community. They got it because of the increase of
quantity and quality of urban space and equipment.
The program have 243 Ha, where will be built 9687 housing buildings, most of them
from official protection, 181.645 leisure construction, equipments and public services.

Figure 8: Explanation plan
The housing building is orientated to South so that they can get more Solar energy.
The hosing model consists in two parallel blocs of 12 meters of deepness. They lay
from east to west and the distance between them is 30 m because its shadow doesnt
bother the building in front of.

The main housing is collective because its waste of energy is lower than a single family
home.
Also, its important to protect the housing from strong winds, they do this through wind
screens.
The use of vegetal surfaces in the streets and housing buildings create micro climes in
some private spaces.
Figure 9: Urban Planing
The architectural design consists on flat roofs where can lay the solar system panels.
The faades are treated in different ways depending on their orientation. In south
faades there are glass galleries which collect the solar radiation.
The constructive system must guarantee a high level of thermal insulation, surfaces
with enough accumulative capacity and sustainable materials.

The urban plan is organized between two big axes; the first one is a park avenue
where free spaces grow up in an organic way.
The second axis organizes in an orthogonal way the building planning. Finally, in thesouth there is a big park.
Figure 11: Road structure
Valdespartera has implemented integrated control network, an infrastructure that
provides common data broadcasting facilities and controls all municipal networks and
supply services companies that make up the project, and aims to manage and meet
the ordinary consumption, incidents and eventualities that arise in such networks, all of
them independently from municipal services.
There shall be monitoring some homes to assess and monitor actual energy
requirements applied to individual cases, achieving awareness and optimization ofthermal management of each of the buildings.
Additionally, this city has the first pneumatic waste collection that is installed in the
autonomous community of Aragon. The implementation of this advanced system is the
installation of an underground network of pipelines built to transport special organic
waste and packaging.

5 Conclusion
We propose other alternatives to improve the life quality in a smart city. For us, the
excess renewable energy in the city is not a problem, but if a benefit. For that reason,
we speak of Biogas.
Biogas is produced as a result of the decomposition of organic material in a completely
oxygen free (anaerobic) environment. The resulting product is called digestion residue
or bio-manure. It is rich in plant nutrients and its high content of organic matter also
makes it a valuable soil conditioner for soils of low humus content and poor structure.
The biogas process has been used by mankind for more than 100 years and
improvements are still being made. These efforts are now being intensified due to a
ban on depositing organic material in landfills, which begins in Sweden in 2005.
The biogas process is of great interest, since by controlling the natural process of
biological decomposition, all the nutrients and energy originally present in the organic
material are retained. The waste can therefore be considered as a resource, which
after anaerobic treatment produces a nutrient-rich residue and renewable
environmentally-friendly energy.
Nowadays, biogas emissions from existing landfills can also be collected and
used.Biogas energy can also be produced from the anaerobic digestion of various
crops. This may contribute in the future to increasing energy self-sufficiency and
reducing our dependency on oil.
The high content of methane in biogas makes it a valuable energy source. In this
respect, biogas is similar to natural gas, and these fuels can be utilized in the same
way. However, biogas must be upgraded, that is refined to remove carbon dioxide, to
obtain the same quality as natural gas.
When used directly for production of heat or electricity, the treatment of biogas is rather
simple, and it is not necessary to remove carbon dioxide.
