The objectives of the project are twofold, although very much related. On the one hand, we define future scenarios to make them compatible with the structural scenarios assumed for biocities, and to assess the behavior of the biocity for each of them. We also assess the contribution of algi to biocities and to the general environment of the scenarios proposed. On the other hand, we propose a set of global sustainability indicators for biocities, considering energy and environmental sustainability indicators, and also introducing economic, social or human capital indicators.
