"The slogan summarizes the intention of the project, Urban Biotope. In biology a biotope is a geographical area that meets a series of environmental conditions to be able to be a life support. In this way the developed idea that an urban environment resembles the natural environment in terms of operation, that is, a series of conditions have to be given to make it function as a support for urban life. It was thought about what characteristics an urban environment should have in order to be healthy, productive, effective and environmentally sustainable. In short, what conditions must an urban area have to become an Urban Biotope."
