About Smart Cities
We live in a world of permanent technological revolution. With digital tools such as the Internet of Things, a number of cities are making important progresses on open data, delivering innovation, transforming the way that services are delivered, and therefore enhancing the lives of citizens. Policy makers from around the world are using these tools to turn cities into ‘smart cities’, where digital and telecommunication technologies strength communities, improve economic growth, enhance services and reduce energy consumption and environmental emissions.
