Research's IaaC - RD2 NewHabitats

RD2 NewHabitats

With the concept of new habitats, the IaaC puts forward a line of research that ensures the definition of habitable environments in keeping with a new mixed conception of the city. Here the city becomes a habitable place, different and diversely adaptable to people and to a new interaction with the environment. This is a cluster city where the concepts of culture, ecology, nature, solidarity and sustainability are interwoven to make a high quality of communal life a reality; to improve living standards through a process of hybridization and revival of the landscape and the recycling of our surroundings; to increase environmental sensitivity in order to work with renewable energies and intelligent systems for environmental treatment; and to create social awareness for a better and richer human interaction.
