How We Make A City Smart?
The Smart City usually conjures up images of uber-modern cityscapes with self-driving cars, pristine streets and smooth, silent transportation. Whilst this may be true for some of the newer cities popping up around the world, some of the biggest changes can actually happen in the places that have been part of our lives for decades. As always, the smartest technologies aren’t the ones which are immediately obvious, but the ones which quietly go about making life easier.
