EL4DEV, the first social network of peace

Torreblanca, living laboratory of a planetary start-up: the emergence of the BIG SMART DATA EL4DEV

In his book BIG SMART DATA EL4DEV – Social network of peace, Paul Elvere DELSART (through his fictional
characters) proposes a unique and bold vision: to transform a small Mediterranean Spanish municipality,
Torreblanca, into a true testing ground for a societal start-up, where every citizen, every piece of data, every
initiative becomes a building block of a new civilizational model.
This narrative, at the crossroads of visionary essay, speculative fiction and political manifesto, does not merely describe
a technological tool. It sketches the birth of a living ecosystem, where digital innovation, civic engagement and
international cooperation converge toward a radical project: rebalancing the world through collective intelligence.

Torreblanca, the small town destined to become the open-air framework of a global start-up

Why Torreblanca? The book sheds light on this strategic choice. It is not a metropolis crushed by inertia, but a humanscale town, located in Castellón, Spain. Its particular context (small population, need for demographic rejuvenation, rich
natural heritage) makes it an ideal ground for experimenting with participatory governance and innovative ecological
infrastructures.
Torreblanca thus becomes much more than a setting: it is transformed into a pilot node, co-developer, incubator,
testing ground and co-investor of a transnational societal start-up that aggregates local initiatives to connect
them to a global metasystem. The flagship infrastructures of the EL4DEV program, such as LE PAPILLON SOURCE
and its Plant Boilers, find fertile ground there. These structures, both ecological, educational and touristic, generate data
reinjected into the BIG SMART DATA EL4DEV, consolidating the idea of a territory that thinks, feels and acts
collectively.
Thus, Torreblanca illustrates a fundamental principle of the book: the local becomes global. Every civic action, every
cultural or ecological initiative is modeled, analyzed and disseminated, eventually becoming a source of inspiration for
other territories.

Carmen ORTIZ and Laura BODIS: two young faces, two forces of the same transformation

At the heart of this narrative appear two major young female figures from Torreblanca: Carmen Ortiz and Laura BODIS,
who embody two complementary forces.
•

•

Carmen ORTIZ, mayor of Torreblanca, represents institutional, political and pragmatic strength. Her mission,
entrusted by Henry HARPER (the author’s fictional alter ego), is clear: to make Torreblanca a living model. She
must facilitate the local deployment of the BIG SMART DATA EL4DEV and ensure its media and political
visibility. Carmen is the pragmatic architect, the one who anchors the vision in municipal reality.
Laura BODIS, a 22-year-old young woman with almost prophetic intuition, embodies the sensitive and visionary
dimension. Her task is to mobilize and inspire youth, in Spain and elsewhere, so that it becomes the
driving force of transformation. She reads the world through feeling, captures the vibrations of ideas before
they take shape, and acts as a very pragmatic contemporary oracle in the service of collective intelligence.
