ON THE ROAD TOWARDS SMART CITIES

Correctly done, intelligent cities will facilitate a more comfortable life for residents while also reducing the resource cost of maintaining that population.

Imagine a highway that knows you’re travelling on it or a street that knows where you’re going. Imagine shopping in a store without human staff. Imagine never having to own a car because you can just get into an autonomous vehicle at any time and be taken to your destination. Imagine emergency services able to respond to your location because your vital signs have dipped – all without human intervention. That’s the promise of the so-called ‘smart’ city, an interconnected environment designed to change that way
