According to the European Commission, a smart city is
a place where the traditional networks and services are
made more efficient with the use of digital and
telecommunication technologies for the benefit of its
inhabitants and businesses. It means smarter urban
transport networks, upgraded utilities supply and waste
disposal facilities, smarter homes and buildings.
50 000+
Since 2008, for the first time ever, a
majority of the world’s population is
living in urban areas.
By 2050 the world population is
going to hit 9 billion, including 70%
of people who will live in the cities.

Smart street lightning is street lighting that adapts to
movement by pedestrians, cyclists and cars. Today
cities consume 78% of the world’s energy. Thus in
creating tomorrow’s city environment, smarter public
lighting delivers more benefits than illumination such
as increased safety, lower costs and CO2 emissions. It
works today in Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, London.
Self-driving electric-powered cars are the vehicles with zero
emissions that are capable of sensing its environment and
navigating without human input through galore Internet of Things
technologies. 57% of roadway accidents are happening due to
human errors, that this type of cars is expected to eliminate. Smart
cars will be connected wirelessly to each other and communicate
with the road infrastructure to make better decisions on traffic and
optimize journey times. Today such corporations as Tesla,
Alphabet, Google, Toyota are driving innovations in this area.

Devised in the UK in the 1960s, Turbine Interchange is road
building technology, that eliminate traffic jams at a highway
intersection that required coming to a full stop before merging
onto a roundabout. It allows drivers coming from four
directions to engage in any turn or change of direction
without slowing or weaving into traffic. Unlike stacked
interchanges, which can involve four, five, or even six tiers of
elevated highways, turbines require fewer levels, so the
overall materials cost is much lower. One of the biggest
turbines is Arabian Ranches Interchange constructed in Dubai.
Loop is a high-speed underground public transportation
system in which passengers are transported on
autonomous electric skates traveling at 125-150 miles
per hour. Electric skates will carry between 8 and 16
passengers (mass transit), or a single passenger vehicle.
Tunnels can also be used for a hyperloop, which Elon
Musk, founder of Tesla and The Boring Company,
originally envisioned as a levitating, near-supersonic
transport system. Eventually passengers can be
transported from New York to Washington in the
unheard-of time of 29 minutes.

Smart cities can dramatically reduce the distance between trash
bin and waste processing plants using underground network of
pneumatic tubes that transport trash at 40 mph directly to a
recycling station. This solution helped Mecca to find the smart
approach on how to get rid of 600 Tons of Trash a Day.
Smarter waste management technologies can help cities
to make the most efficient waste collection process.
Solar-powered trash compactor bin can compress the
waste up to x8 times of regular trash bin capacity.
Imbedded sensors track filled levels in real time and
collect various data that can be used for further
analysis. 50+ cities worldwide successfully reduced
waste management cost by up to 80%, leveraging this
kind of technologies.

Vertical farming is the practice of producing food in vertically stacked layers
inside the building, where indoor farming techniques and controlled-
environment agriculture technology are used. These facilities utilize
artificial control of light, environmental control (humidity, temperature
etc.) and fertigation. Solar cells, wind turbines and rainwater collectors on
the roof make this technology environmentally friendly. One acre in an
indoor farm can produce the same yield as 4-6 outdoor arches.
Sky Greens, historically first vertical farm, was built in Singapore.
This example was followed by Chicago (Farmedhere),
Tokyo (Mirai Corp) and Newark (Aerofarms).

A smart home is a convenient home setup where appliances and devices can be automatically controlled remotely from
anywhere in the world using a mobile or other networked device. A smart home has its devices interconnected through the
Internet, which control functions such as security access to the home, temperature, lighting, and home theater.
Safety system is supported by door and
window sensors, outdoor motion detectors
and cameras with live broadcast
