The first smart park in the world to open in Yerevan

In the coming years on the shores of Yerevan Lake, the world’s first smart garden can be opened. Sona Telunts and Zori Mkrtichyan presented the idea to the competition announced by the Armenian Development Fund. Now, the less important stage is to find a source of funding to make the project live.

According to the “Yerevan Lake Smart Garden” project, the park of the future will be divided into 8 sections: a family zone, a business meeting and discussion platform; lovers will not be forgotten- there will be a romantic dating site for them. Besides, there will also be Square named after Shavarsh Karapetyan, solar-powered bicycles, weight-raising bikes, smart gear boxes, which will produce energy from burnt calories, etc.

In the territory of the “smart park” a restaurant will operate, whose visitors will have the opportunity to make a turn in boats in Yerevan Lake. There will be small islands located around the lake, which will be focused on water purification. In general, the entire infrastructure of the park is designed so that there is no need to spend and the park itself decides where it is needed: excessive irrigation water, lighting, and so on. The entrance to the gardens will be free of charge, and income will flow from the activities of the cafes, restaurants and other points in the area.

“The smart garden does not exist in the world, as we have searched, but we have not found it. Although at present San Francisco is trying to bring the smart city idea into reality, “she said.
