The prosal responds to the necessity to build a small city on the outskirts of Sofia, generating and own economy, introducing green technology and integrate resource like systems elements that provoque the minimun impact on their sorroundings.
Periurban towns, towards the south of Sofia were constructed on a fertile agricultural earth producing a change of radical use from rurally to urban {becoming dormitory cities}. Urban agriculture has been an essential element of the Bulgarian life for centuries.

This sustainable city will encourage people to walk instead of drive, give facilities for recycling and optimizing the use of the energy with the bioclimate design buildings
The urban planning morphology responds to the maximun solar advantage with this base the bioclimate architecture is viable for the facility of being able to integrate the energies of the environment.

At urban level, the greater facade generates accesibility to different types from circulation: pedestrian, car traffic and secondary ways.
The city grows around a center of social and commercial activity, conected by public transport, constituting itself in centers around which the districts grow.
