Zoning & Self-Sustainable Housing  

     The city of Adaloquo uses innovative zoning known as HIVE (Hexagonal Infrastructure and Versatile Ecosystem) to provide interconnectivity throughout all zones. This zoning also represents the collaborative efforts of our city, much like bees in a hive. HIVE is split into smaller sections known as pods, split into individual hexagonal zones, and further split into smaller sections. These sections include commercial, agricultural, utilities, industrial, residential, educational, and recreational areas.

     Citizens reside in self-sustainable, earthquake-resistant houses. These buildings provide some of the necessities for the people living inside while they also get resources from the city’s main sources. Water is collected and recycled through rainwater collection and greywater recycling. Smart Toilets save water in houses, filtering the waste and reusing the water. Greenhouses are nearby, next to, or integrated into buildings allowing for greywater and compost to be directly transported to greenhouses. Needs for heating are also in use as biogas, produced from agricultural waste, and syngas, produced from municipal waste, provide it locally through an instantaneous loop. 

     Every tower uses the Water Potential Storage System to store and create electricity, water, and food for emergency situations until the main sources are enabled again. The walls are made of wind and water resilient paint, which blocks out heavy wind and precipitation and the siding is fiber cement because it can withstand hurricanes, and are water and fireproof. Transparent thermo-photovoltaic panels are used for windows. These capture light and heat from the sun for additional energy collection. Every housing zone is nearby all other types of zones, allowing for nearby recreation, education, and jobs.
