Why is the 22@Barcelona District also called the Innovation District? Let's take a walking tour to find
the answer to this question.
First, the digital bus stop, with its multifunctional features, is one of the prides of Barcelona. It not only
displays real time bus schedules, but also offers tourist information, USB charging sockets and acts as a
free WiFi station.
The City Council has also set a target for saving electricity. At night, the smart lighting system becomes
less bright when there is no motion detected in the streets and lights up vvhen people are around. This
helps to save money and reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
Next is the smart waste collection system with smart rubbish bins which are connected to a vacuum
network under the streets. When the bins are full, the sensors installed on them send information to the
collection plant, and the waste is sucked through underground pipes. This system reduces noise pollution
made by refuse lorries and keeps public spaces clean and odourless.
To encourage city dwellers to use bicycles, a bicycle sharing system was developed. It is designed to h
people to travel short distances without consuming any energy. People pay an annual fee, get a speci
card, scan it at any of the 400 stations, check out a bike, then check it back in at the station closest to
their destination. Most stations are located near other public transport stops or public car parks. What's
more, with seven hours of sunshine a day, Barcelona has taken advantage of solar energy. All r large
buildings such as offices, hotels, hospitals, gyms, or swimming pools use solar panels to produc< their
own hot water. This helps to reduce fossil fuels consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.
For over a decade, the old industrial district of Poblenou in Barcelona has undergone a dramatic rene’ to
create a high-quality environment for working and living. The aim of upgrading an old place while
maintaining its economic activity has been achieved. That is why the 22@Barcelona model is being
applied to other areas of the city.
