Abstract : In the META-City Quito experiment, we expect to accurately measure the effect of the resonators array composed by civil engineering structures on the seismic wave field, in the manner of an urban meta-material. Recent applications in the field of physics, acoustics and recently geophysics have shown the existence of forbidden bands, that is, frequencies in which the seismic energy disappears. This concept could help to understand the heterogeneous distribution of damage in urban areas as well as to imagine seismic-proof cities as a result of the distribution and design of structures.
