The architect recently unveiled plans to transform the famous locale into a futuristic \u201csmart\u201d city. His design is a nod to the metropolis\u2019 historical architecture as it\u2019s punctuated by flourishing, eco-friendly structures,\u00a0and was commissioned as part of the Climate Energy Plan of Paris.\u00a0\u00a0Buildings use green construction strategies like passive heating and cooling, rainwater recycling, and living green walls. These unique walls are especially helpful because they infuse the urban atmosphere with fresh air.\u00a0Exteriors of the honeycomb-esque towers are solar energy generators that harvest sunlight and produce biofuel. And, using \u201cphylolights\u201d produces light and energy thanks to wind turbines. Buildings are mixed-use and encourage the integration of residential and commercial enterprises. By having all these things within walking distance to one another eliminates the need for daily transportation and cuts the fuel pollution in the air.\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">(<\/span><a style=\"font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color: #339966;\" title=\"Smart City\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mymodernmet.com\/profiles\/blogs\/vincent-callebaut-paris-smart-city?context=tag-architecture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">source<\/a><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[easy-share buttons=&#8221;facebook,twitter,linkedin,mail&#8221; counters=0 native=&#8221;no&#8221; image=https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/yusuke-asai-waf-1.jpg url=https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/?p=8554 facebook_text=Share twitter_text=Tweet\u00a0linkedin_text=Link text=&#8221;Smart City&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div> <div  style='height:10px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_two_third '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div> <div class=\"flex_column av_two_third  flex_column_div first  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_third  \" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8555 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/vincentcallebaut3edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"675\" height=\"492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/vincentcallebaut3edit.jpg 675w, https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/vincentcallebaut3edit-110x80.jpg 110w, https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/vincentcallebaut3edit-450x328.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/p><\/div> <div class=\"flex_column av_one_third  flex_column_div   avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_two_third  avia-builder-el-last  \" ><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The architect recently unveiled plans to transform Paris into a futuristic \u201csmart\u201d city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":8556,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-architecture"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8554"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8554"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8554\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18309,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8554\/revisions\/18309"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8554"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
