URUMEA RIVERSIDE DISTRICT
An integrated strategy for a first smart district to be replicated and scaled up to create a better city for a better life.
The implementations which are deployed in the San Sebastian pilot are mainly concentrated in the Urumea Riverside District. This district has been selected for the planned integrated strategy in order to turn it into a smart district with nearly zero emissions, becoming a sustainability district brand. The district covers three sites with a surface area of around 200 hectares: residential area (Txomin neighbourhood), Industrial Park (Polígono 27, which has a capacity for 350 companies with 4,500 people) and a natural park (Ametzagaina, carbon reserve).
The city has an integrated strategy aiming for a smart district with the particular objective of getting a nearly zero district: district branding in sustainability. Fomento San Sebastian is the lead partner for San Sebastian pilot (as well as project coordinator) and is responsible for project management and coordination.
