3. The superblocks are defined theoretically as an "area of
urban organization, from which a series of structured
transformation strategies towards a new urban model,
where mobility and reorganization of public space
represent the first step”. Inside the superblocks the traffic
and the environmental pollution (noise and gas) are
reduced.
Each Superblock is based on a combination of City user services.
Each US is composed by elements (Basic City Services). These basic services will be standardized worldwide thinking in
superblock units. By the way, ICT deployment would be modeled under a Superblock perspective and evaluated in relation to
the business case impact.

Where will be intelligence? Where would have Legato application?
Each service has a different answer, that depends on SLAs defined (latency, security,...)

QUESTIONS TO SOLVE IN MODELLING PROCESS:
• Urbanistic restrictions
• Where will I mount equipments?
• Distance between equipments:
• Urban Furniture Configuration
• Power & Interference Constraints
• Traffic Constraints
• EDGE Computing integration
• ICT Spain regulation & 22@ Barcelona Build
Requirements are key regulations.MAIN DUCTS
