2. CHARACTERISTICS OF FUTURE CITIES
•Green
• More green spaces
• Sustainable development
• Smart Buildings
• Intelligent control of building
• Higher security
• Increased energy efficiency
• Connected
• Internet-of-Things devices coupled
with big data analytics will lead to
higher connectivity.
Transportation
• Autonomous vehicles
• Sharing services
• Less fossil fuel powered vehicles
• Clean Energy Supply
• Sufficient energy to power our
smart city will be generated from
clean, renewable sources: wind,
solar, geothermal, hydroelectric,
perhaps even fusion.
• Health Care
• The Internet-of-Things and
Artificial intelligence (AI) will
improve medical diagnosis

3. SMART CITIES
• I believe that cities will evolve very
differently, depending on their
location.
• However, cities will have certain
traits in common (see figure on
the left) that will create a
interconnected network.
• Future smart cities will employ a
number of purpose-built AI
programs and machine-learning
algorithms to process the vast
amounts of incoming “sensory”
data.

4. OUTLOOK
In the city of the future, inhabitants can expect
an improved quality of life given by:
• Less air pollution and contamination
• More security
• Better waste management
• Higher Mobility (intelligent traffic
management)
• Increased automation
• Smart buildings
• More green spaces
