Built Environment

Planet is rethinking the way we live in the city. Designing fluid, multipurpose and sustainable spaces that help to improve the quality of life for residents.

Ecosystem Resources

The city is an ecosystem in which humans play a crucial role in defining the flows of matter and energy and in regulating the relationships between the various constituent parts. The development of a smart city must consider practices that protect and maintain the quality and health of natural resources, while being economically and socially sustainable. Ecosystem resources should be planned with an interdisciplinary approach, addressing issues ranging from pollution control to the management of green areas, water bodies and all other elements that sustain the territory. Residents of a smart neighborhood designed by Planet Idea live in a green and healthy environment.
