Located on "Bartolome Maso" municipality on the north part of "Sierra Maestra" in "Granma" province, the Scholar City "Camilo Cienfuegos", represents a paradigm of the real ideals of the Cuban Revolution related to education.

The proposed strategy deals with economic and social sustainability, preservation of natural resources, energy conservation and appropriate technology, considered in 3 main concepts: Habitat city, Cultural city, and Sustainable city, which are finally integrated into a Solar City as a symbolic term. As part of the proposal, a Master Plan, urban and architectural design criteria and steps for the future development are presented.
