The Comprehensive Investigation on Sus-
tainable Islands (IISIS, Spanish acronym) is
taking on the challenge of designing a “city
of the future” (island) that is self-sufficient
and sustainable in relation to the main servi-
ces: water, energy, and waste management
and which is capable of evolving and res-
ponding to stimuli in its surroundings.
The city of Alcoy (Alicante) has served as
the basis for this project which is being
subsidised by the Centre for Technological
and Industrial Development (CDTI, Spanish
acronym) and by the Ministry of Economy
and Competitiveness. The objective is to
optimise the consumption of energy resou-
rces that has a direct bearing on all proces-
ses involving the capture, distribution, and
consumption of water.
The initiative
is part of the
llSlS lNNPRONTA
project for designing
the self-sufficient and
sustainable “city of the
future”
