The main goal of studying “Passeig de Gracia” is to make it again a starting line to transform all Barcelona to a pro- smart city by using the high density to collect information’s, receive it and send it to save time, Creating a new mobility Matrix to change the transportation ID to a smart eco-friendly one and innovate a new dynamic life style that it can interact with people, to make every action in Passeig de Gracia a big event.
It’s the street protocol from Micro to Medium (City Protocol) to the Macro.
