The client

A smart city is not just sensors, data and infrastructure.

It is a truly connected city. Placenet switches on services, content and communications only when the citizen or visitor is physically in the place, adapted to who they are and what is happening.

The challenge

The internet gives us access to everything, but without the context of the place.

Much of the content is not relevant to the person or to the space they are in. Traditional parks are held back by static design, a lack of connectivity, and challenges around participation and safety.

What we did

The park informs, connects, protects and improves.

Parc d'Orriols is organised into modules that can be switched on by area and profile: families with children, young people, older people and young children.

01

AI assistant

Answers, advises and recommends by profile and area, using the park's knowledge base.

02

Contextual chats

Group and private chats between people in the same space, with verified managers.

03

Wall and local shops

Announcements, ratings and proposals from users, managers and nearby shops.

04

Guard

05
