Smart City Laguna

Based on the concept of “Living beyond living”, the Planet group is building Smart City Laguna, the world’s first social smart city. The project is located within the metropolitan area of ​​Fortaleza, São Gonçalo do Amarante (CE), and includes participation from the group’s English and Italian subsidiaries. The Brazilian company SG Desenvolvimento is responsible for the following: construction, integrating innovations, technology, sustainability, modern urban planning, and smart mobility. The objective is to ensure that clients are offered affordable housing which also provides a high standard of living. Multinational companies such as Tim, Enel, Samsung, Arup and Urmet are also collaborating with the development of the Laguna.

The Smart City will have a total area of ​​330 hectares, equal to about 620 thousand square meters. It will consist of about 7,000 lots and offer residents plenty of green areas throughout the community. At the completion date of the first phase of construction, January 2018, 1808 lots had been sold. As of August 2018, 2,700 lots have already been sold. Midway through 2018 the development of the first 50 homes began at the smart city. Lastly, Smart City Laguna makes use of the Planet app, a kind of control panel for the smart city. Residents can download the app for devices that use Android or iOS for free. After registration, users have access to all of the city’s services.
