Do you remember when Spain was heading towards Eurovegas and Madrid 2020? More than ten years have passed, and the two projects remained just that: projects. However, it seems that in one region of our country they have been left with the desire to jump into the future and have thought about building Elysium. It is a utopian city as controversial as this building that has 30,000 sensors.
Elysium, the Spanish utopian city that has the world in suspense
Elysium City is a new city that is being built in Spain and that promises to be an oasis of luxury and technology. Located in Extremadura, this futuristic city has been designed as an exclusive paradise where its residents can enjoy the latest innovations in a relaxed and natural atmosphere.
With a construction cost estimated at 3 billion euros, Elysium City is being promoted as “the city of the future” and a pioneering project worldwide. Its creators ensure that it will combine sustainability, well-being and the most modern comforts in a carefully planned environment.
Although its inauguration is scheduled for 2027, Elysium is already considered the most exclusive city in Spain. Everything about it exudes luxury, from its luxurious smart homes to its advanced transportation systems. Its residents will be able to enjoy the latest technological advances, or so the promoters claim.
Elysium promises to be a unique city that will bring together the best of modern urbanism to create an oasis high-tech oriented to well-being and sustainability. With its futuristic design and unprecedented luxuries, this ambitious city aspires to become a benchmark for exclusive living in Europe.
Where Elysium will be located: almost in the heart of Spain
Elysium City will be located in the region of Extremadura, in the southwest of Spain. Specifically, the city will be built in the municipality of Castilblanco, located in the province of Badajoz. Can you imagine a city like Dubai in the heart of the peninsula? Well something like that.
It is an area with a mainly rural landscape, characterized by pastures, grasslands and crop areas. However, the proximity to Badajoz, one of the historic cities of our country, offers greater attractiveness to this project, according to its promoters.
Choosing this location is due in part to the availability of land and also in the search for a natural environment that allows the city to be integrated into the landscape. In addition, the proximity to the urban center will facilitate access to services and infrastructure for future residents.
Urban planning, the most curious thing about this project in Extremadura
Elysium City will feature futuristic designed buildings that will give the city a unique look. The architects in charge of the project have been inspired by the fractal geometry to create iconic structures with organic shapes and patterns that repeat at different scales.
The truth is that this project has quickly met with discontent among a large part of the population. The project itself has suffered several rejections by the courts with which it now continues to fight. In fact, we recently learned that the land had just been regraded, which raises even more doubts.
On the other hand, the majority of political parties and citizens consider that it is nothing more than another exercise in urban speculation. We, logically, remain neutral and informative, which is what would be expected from the position we occupy in this context.
As you have seen, Elysium It is a project that generates divided opinions, halfway between expectation and controversy. The rejection they have caused among many citizens is only comparable to another urban project that is thousands of kilometers from us. Do you know which one we are talking about? This is the largest human structure in history, in the middle of the desert and without energy consumption.
