Seville and its metropolitan area today make up that universal city that renews itself to continue being eternal. One of the sectors indicative of the current transformation of Seville and its metropolis is the real estate development sector, whose activity, together with construction, represents 15 percent of the provincial GDP, and is currently immersed in its main urban developments. Currently, the South of Seville concentrates practically 50% of the new developments underway with projects such as Palmas Altas, Villanueva del Pítamo or Entrenúcleos.

The transformation of Seville and its current metropolis is characterized by an innovative urban growth that is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Agenda 2030, adopted by the United Nations (UN). Seville has the mission of achieving climate neutrality before 2030

Other sectors and the Sevillian society in general contribute to this. Its strategic location has allowed the implementation of a national and foreign industrial fabric of high added value that are mainly distributed among three poles: the Port of Seville, synchromodal hub ; Aerópolis, among the five aerospace hubs in the world; and the Science and Technology Park of La Cartuja, a reference promoter of innovation. We cannot fail to mention the University, with a presence both in Seville and its metropolitan area, which is positioned among the world university elite, nor reference infrastructures such as the facilities of the Palace of Congresses and Exhibitions of Seville (FIBES)., considered one the largest and most versatile auditorium in Spain.

Seville City One, Metropolis of the South initiative came to life thanks to the strategic alliance of the main developers of the Spanish real estate sector, AEDAS Homes, CBRE, Bekinsa, Caralca, Grupo Insur, LandCo, Metrovacesa and Vía Célere, and with the sectoral support of the Association of Builders and Developers of Seville, GAESCO, whose objective is to make visible the great role of the Seville city and its metropolitan area, in collaboration with public administrations.

The design of Seville CityOne, Southern Metropolis, wants tp become a benchmark for the most efficient urban growth in line with a city clearly committed to meeting the objective of climate neutrality before 2030. The key aspects will be established to become a benchmark in sustainability, fight against climate change and sustainable mobility.

The population of Seville has grown up by 90 thousand inhabitants and this can be an answer for their needs. Because the capital has no space left for new houses. In the short term, there is a stock of rapidly maturing soils for 20,000 homes and 14,500 homes with some kind of protection regime. Currently, land for almost 6,000 homes is in the residential development phase.

That is the reason why during the I International Conference of Seville City One, Southern Metropolis, we will be able to hear the main protagonists of the transformation processes of Seville and its metropolitan area. This forum will attract national and international operators who have set their sights on the capital of southern Spain with the challenge of contributing to the transformation of the metropolis under a principle of action and sustainable development in its residential growth, industrial, logistic and tertiary. This commitment, with efficiency and respect for the environment, will be felt at Sevilla City One.
