| Murcia will be present at the VI Smart Cities Congress, in which public administrations, institutions, technology centers, universities, associations, companies and professionals involved in the Smart City sector | Murcia will be present at the VI Congress of Smart Cities, in which public administrations, institutions, technology centers, universities, associations, companies and professionals involved in the Smart City sector will participate and which will take place on September 15 in person and online in Madrid.In this context, the Councilor for Urban Development and Administration Modernization, José Guillén, will present the smart city project that is being developed in Murcia and specifically, the Oasis project.This has been one of the best valued projects by the Technical Committee, and it will also be published in the Smart City Communications and Projects Book.'Oasis' the pioneering project that reduces pollution particles up to 81% implanted for the first time in MurciaThe project has been carried out in the Garden of Santa Isabel and involves the implantation of pavement made from crushed tire rubber impregnated with a photo catalytic agent, an innovative material that reduces the contamination of gases from vehicles such as nitrous oxide.

This innovative pavement, manufactured thanks to the recycling of 1,250 tires, has been installed on an area of ??285 square meters.The results show that this innovative flooring can reduce nitrous oxide by around 20%, reducing the level of contaminating particles by up to 81%.An anti-abrasive, non-slip flooring that lowers floor temperatureThe results show that it is an anti-abrasive soil, prevents the growth of fungi (antibacterial), reduces the carbon footprint and surface temperature, eliminates volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and contributes to the creation of safe environments.

for the smallest, as it involves the application of continuous soils.This novel flooring, in addition, absorbs the impacts of falls, absorbs noise and vibrations, and its compositional materials make it a type of non-slip floor even after rain.

It is also a low maintenance type of floor that is easy to clean.Trials at the German Fraunhofer research institute and field work in Santa IsabelAs part of the Oasis project, they have carried out various tests to check the efficiency and effectiveness of this pavement (Id-sun), with tests that have been carried out at the German research institute Fraunhofer and the Center for Environmental Studies of the Mediterranean (CEAM) .After the months of field study that have been carried out in the Santa Isabel garden, the efficacy of this product has been demonstrated, since the Aitex Technology Center has validated and certified the results of 'Oasis'.Patent 'made in Murcia'After analyzing the results, the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office has validated this innovative material as a patent, the rubber grinding impregnated in a photocatalytic agent (Id-Sun), which has been implanted in Murcia by the Murcian companies RNC and Synthelast, in collaboration with the Murcia City Council.Benchmark in circular economyThe implementation of this project is also an action aligned with the municipal Circular Economy strategy, since 'Oasis' is carried out through the recycling process, using tires collected in a hundred containers enabled by the Murcian company RNC, distributed by workshops from the municipality of Murcia.

Once collected, the tires are processed, returning them to society in the form of crushed rubber tires.From crushed rubber tireThe rubber used in the 'Oasis' project is manufactured from crushed tire rubber, and is applied to the surface with a photo catalytic agent, converting solar energy into chemical energy, reducing nitrous oxide gases from the combustion of motor vehicles and heating boilers, among other factors.

These gases are one of the main causes of pollution and can cause various adverse health effects.In addition, the new pavement transforms nitrous oxide gases into non-harmful substances, creating environments free of contamination.

Specifically, this process is possible thanks to the application of continuous rubber pavements with a photo catalytic agent, since it is carried out through photocatalysis, a photochemical reaction that converts solar energy into chemical energy, reducing polluting gases.Murcia Smart CityThe implementation of this project, 'Oasis', which involves the application of the latest technological innovations at the service of Murcia, improving the quality of life for families, especially the youngest, is part of the Murcia Smart City municipal strategy , launched by the City Council."The Murcia Smart City municipal strategy is developed through the MiMurcia project, the smart city model that seeks to put the latest technological innovations at the service of people, as well as improve living conditions in our municipality and the quality of the environment" José Guillén has highlighted.'Oasis' is an R + D + i (research, development and innovation) project, developed by the Murcian company RNC, which improves the municipality's air quality by applying the latest technological advances.Clean AirThis pioneering action, which will soon be extended to other parks and gardens in the municipality, is aligned with the municipal Clean Air strategy, which is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving air quality or optimizing the process collection, treatment and recycling of materials, creating a more sustainable city and moving towards the circular economy.Likewise, the implementation of this new pavement is being carried out in compliance with the goals of the 2030 Agenda, specifically with objectives 11 -Sustainable cities and communities-, and 13 -Action for climate-.Decarbonize, digitize and distribute: Future challenges of cities towards 2050El lema principal de esta nueva edición del congreso es «Descarbonizar, Digitalizar y Distribuir: Retos de futuro de las ciudades hacia el 2050».

Con este enfoque, el VI Congreso Ciudades Inteligentes aborda aspectos clave relacionados con las Ciudades y Territorios Inteligentes, haciendo hincapié en cómo la utilización de la tecnología y la innovación permitirán alcanzar los objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible y los compromisos europeos de una sociedad libre de CO2 en el 2050.El objetivo es potenciar el intercambio de conocimiento y experiencias en los entornos urbanos de una manera transversal, multidisciplinar y multisectorial, poniendo en valor principalmente las iniciativas que se están desarrollando actualmente en nuestro país.El evento, que ya está consolidado como un foro de referencia profesional sobre la temática en España, se encuentra incluido dentro de las acciones relevantes reflejadas dentro del Plan Nacional de Territorios Inteligentes PNCI.
