Office space, a shopping promenade, a great shop window for local companies, training, leisure and free time – these are the vocations of Veneto City which integrates and develops concepts and aspects which transform a “normal” city into a “smart” city.
Starting from reuse of land which would otherwise be designated for industrial/manufacturing purposes Veneto City constructs a “green” urban-architectural format. The concept behind realization of this “smart green city” is based on a design and construction system complying with high quality and environmental standards. Trigeneration, geothermal and photovoltaic power… these are the keywords at the centre of Veneto City’s response to the energy challenge to guarantee low cost energy supplies with low environmental impact. The design of the buildings integrates renewable sources with sources looking to the future such as geothermal and photovoltaic energy.
Besides, Veneto City is a green hub and a crossroads for the area’s main infrastructure arteries, symbol of the modern face of one of Europe’s most important manufacturing areas.
