CITE-City: «smart" eco-city without residents will be built in New Mexico
Buildings, operating at the expense of "green energy" cars moving on the streets without a driver through the navigation system - a futuristic city will be erected in the desert of the US state of New Mexico. The project is going to invest about $ 1 billion. Surprisingly, this place is completely deserted.
Center for innovation, testing, and evaluation (CITE) plans to build near the city of Deming in New Mexico, 30 miles north of the Mexican border. It will be an experiment in urban planning. It is expected that there will be barren desert paths, schools and high-rise buildings; the whole infrastructure will be designed for 35 thousand. people who actually live here will not.
Innovators from around the world will work in the underground laboratory, which will become a sort of urban brain. It will start to arrive here the data from the sensors installed in the sectors in which tested a variety of advanced technology.
Realization of the project will be engaged in a private company Pegasus Holdings. According to its CEO Paul Feiler, the city will be divided into specialized areas occupied by high-tech facilities.
Renewable energy sources - solar, wind, geothermal and bioenergy plants, even - will be tested, along with new forms of water purification and cybersecurity projects
. According to Feiler, this kind of unprecedented opportunities to attract great minds of Russia and China in the best universities in the US to work in an environment that "will give a more accurate and reliable data than the mundane trials and simulations»
.
"We can see some dirty environment, in which many things will occur. In many existing laboratories in mainly untouched environment in which you must commit changes, but you need a certain pitch between these laboratories and the present market, where you can see what will work in real life, "- he explained
. The project is expected to employ 350 people, in addition, will be hired to 3, 5 thousand. Contractors.
Although implementation of the CITE project a reality is closer than ever to his start systematically transferred. Before the designers settled on the desert of New Mexico, have been reviewed and other accommodation options.
"There have been significant delays due to the need to make sure that we have found the right place. We believe that is now found an amazing place, and perhaps it is better that other areas do not come ", - said Feiler
. It is expected that work will begin in September 2016. It is estimated that at first required of $ 550 million to $ 800 million, however, to bring the project to the end, will require additional investment.
