Can someone can correct me? :)
How
can technology
can help cities deal with their issue
s?
Today, 54% of
the world
's population lives in urban cent
res. 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-third
s 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 concentrate
d 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 technolog
y or information and communication technolog
y 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.
