The world’s first bio-tech filter to quantifiably improve air quality. Different types of moss bind environmental toxins such as particulate matter and nitrogen oxides while producing oxygen at the same time. Integrated IoT technology delivers comprehensive information on performance and status as well as environmental data on the CityTree’s surroundings. Controllable ventilation technology allows airflow to be intensified, meaning that the filter effect can be increased as required.

From being a city which was previously dominated by car transport the focus is now on public transport and on pedestrian and cycling networks.
The city of Pontevedra created a car-free city model. The central idea of the model is the number of cars needed for the proper functioning of the city is much lower than we think, but the efficient and dynamic operation of urban transport must be ensured by meeting complex needs. Traditional urban models mostly focus on motor vehicles, while pedestrians are almost completely ignored.

To do this, they must be able to strike a balance between the over- and under-supply of power that occurs when renewable sources of energy are used. For this reason, most combined power plants are equipped with energy storage systems.
