ONE ESSE develops modular urban infrastructure designed to reduce the environmental burden of food and energy systems while enabling low-carbon, resource-efficient local production.

The concept integrates renewable energy, controlled-environment agriculture, circular resource management, and AI-based monitoring to create resilient micro-infrastructure capable of supporting sustainable urban supply systems.

As climate pressure, resource scarcity, and urban population growth increase, traditional centralized food and energy infrastructures face structural limitations. Modular, distributed and data-driven systems are emerging as a necessary next step for cities seeking to reduce emissions, minimize waste, and strengthen local resilience.

By combining container-based production, renewable energy integration and digital traceability, ONE ESSE demonstrates how future urban infrastructure can transition toward low-carbon, transparent and circular production models aligned with European Green Deal objectives.
