SMART CITIES
Significant potentisl ... but not easy to accomplish
The Emerging Smart City
The Emerging Smart City
Cities are incredibly complicated with millions of systems serving the population ... with little or no meaningful coordination.
Most cities have grown organically over a very long time with only very rudimentary planning ... and in many cases planning with purpose that has been anti-social rather than pro-society.
But some change is happening.
It is anticipated that more than 80% of the world's population will live in urban settings in the very near future.
It is also likely that many major coastal cities will suffer more and more flooding as climate changes and sea level rises.
