“Gaia
Park
is
an
example
of
a
modern
park
in
an
Eco
City,
with
features
such
as
open
green
spaces,
dedicated
bike
lanes,
family
friendly
areas
for
leisure
and
exercise
and
beauAful
flower
gardens.
Solar
street
lamps
are
used
to
reduce
carbon
footprint
and
water
fountains
are
fed
by
natural
streams
or
waterfalls,
to
preserve
the
natural
environment
and
reduce
water
wastage.
Also,
the
park
houses
some
eco
art
sculptures
such
as
the
Dolphin
Monument,
erected
to
highlight
biodiversity
and

“Our
city
is
equipped
with
a
power
plant
containing
a
water
turbine,
wind
turbines,
and
solar
panels,
which
gets
rid
of
the
need
for
fossil

in
the
town.
Our
town
features
a
two-‐story

with
a
spacious

It
also
feature
a
recycling

Also,
the

keeps
the

green
instead

“There
is
an
organic

who
says
that

is
a

it

There
are
2
new

planted
every

“This
is
our
ecocity
as
we
imagine
it
in
Italy!
Our
city
has
an
eco-‐factory
where
we
convert
old
cars
in
new
electric
cars.
Then,
on
the
other
side
of
the
city
there’s
an
eco-‐gym
where
people
ride
green
exercise
bikes
and
on
the
roof
we
have
4
solar
panels
and
all
produce
electricity
that
make
the
firm
work.
In
the
city
and
we
have
2
windmill

that
have
the

We
