    (continued...)

    The city of Santander in Spain is one of the most famous Smart Cities in the world. The city has created a very important network. In the city we (better: you, one) can found find 12,000 sensors, and a network infrastructure to continually measure air quality, weather, traffic and a lot of other parameters (frameworks?)

    The various sensors are used in different sectors. They are useful for drivers. To help drivers and to reduce car emissions from cars, 400 sensors are present in public parking lots to track open parking spots. 
    They are also used for the environment. In effect, more than 2,000 sensors measure noise, light, and carbon in the air to help the city to obey regulations on noise and air quality. Sensors enable us/you to build a sound map to help the city comply with European Union noise regulations.

    The different sensors are also located in lampposts in parks that sense pedestrians and reduce light when there is nobody around. 

    Sensors are also used to control the traffic. There are sensors under the pavement at the city's entrance tracking traffic volume and location, and the speed of cars. 

    We can see, through the example of the city of Santander, that the technology can help the cities to deal with their issues.

    Can someone can correct me? :)

    How can technology can help cities deal with their issues?

    Today, 54% of the world's population lives in urban centres. By 2050, this proportion ('figure' would be better than 'proportion' here) will could increase by up to 70%. Because of their high population density of population and infrastructure, the cities have a very important significant impact on the environment: they consume almost two-thirds of the world's energy. We must find solutions to deal with its  this issue.
    Despite this these issues, the cities contribute at to the worldwide economy. 30% of the global economy is concentrated in just 100 cities. Technology can (better: could) be the solution to help the cities to deal with their issue.
    A smart city is a city which that is equipped in with infrastructure, digital technology or information and communication technology which are in order to improve the quality and the performance of the urban services (public facilities?), to decrease costs and resource consumption, and to engage more effectively with its inhabitants. The different infrastructure assure guarantees water and electricity supply, a waste management, an efficient urban mobility and public transport. 
    The smart cities aim to promote adoption of smart solutions to use more efficiently the different assets, resources and infrastructures available.
