Introduction
 Challenges facing major cities aremanyandwith the
  use of technology, good planning and hard work, they
  can survive.
 Maximizing the use of technology to increase the
  quality of life.
 The more technology evolves the easier it gets to
  overcome challenges, yet the question of affordability
  needs an answer
Challenges
 Building solid infrastructures
 Limited water resources
 Migration tocities
 Maximizing use of technology to find new waysof
  generating energy
 Increasing Pollution
Infrastructure
 The need for reliable and sustainable infrastructure
 Hosting major sports events lead to infrastructure
  investments
 Creating and offering an advanced security system for
  people to feel safe and protected
 Investing inaffordablehealthcare system
Water

 Water is the source of life
 Limited water resources globally.
 Technology plays an important role in inventing,
  facilitating and applying new water treatment
  methods, as well as wastewater management
Population Increase
 Improvedtraffic systems to absorb increase
 Buildingreliable and efficient public transportations
 Electric vehicles are more environment friendly /“
  green “—major cities should adopt such
  transportation method.
 Efficient airports to accommodate larger traffic.
Energy
 Supply of sustainable energy is crucial
 Balance between Energy security, affordability,its
  impact on the environment.
 Using renewable energy sources,a must (
  solar, wind, water )
 Efficient energy transmission
Going Green
 Intelligent building technology reduces consumed
  energy by 60%
 Maximizing energy efficiency
 Using energy saving lighting systems
 Reliable power distribution
Conclusion
Challenges :

 Increasing quality of life in cities


 Lack of Water resources and energy must be addressed
