Benefiting from its privileged geographical position in the heart of the Chinese megalopolis of the Delta of the Pearl River, Shenzhen faces a spectacular economic and demographic development.

It is an obvious project to build a prototype of green, dense, Smart city connected by the TIC and eco-designed from biotechnologies.
