The world's first eco-smart city is designed by Stefano Boeri and is expected to be completed in 2026. The Smart Forest City is inspired by the Mayan civilization and will be located about 100 km from Cancún, Mexico. The goal is for the city to be self-sufficient, a sustainable Silicon Valley, with a hub dedicated to innovation, research centers and companies interested in reducing their impact on the planet. The project's architect is recognized for being the creator of Bosco Verticale, a sustainable building in Milan, with 900 trees and solar panels.
The city will be supplied with energy from solar panels installed in the urban area. The desalination plant will be responsible for supplying drinking water. The idea is that all waste will be recycled or reused. The estimate is that the space will be able to accommodate up to 120,000 people.
