Application of the Sustainable Urban Environments model based on the Smart Outdoor approach in the city of Medellín

Abstract

The quality of an urban space significantly influences the habitability of a city. In an era where buildings are becoming more and more "intelligent", outdoor space needs to evolve to make it more welcoming and to allow it to be shared and appropriate, capable of expanding opportunities and functionality for the inhabitant who lives in it. In this context the COGITO project, is exploring ways to extend the cognitive logic typical of intelligent buildings to the urban space. We propose to appropriate the model developed in COGITO and apply it in a case study of the city of Medellin.
