Smart Technologies for better Cities

2007 marked the first time there were more people living in cities and metropolitan areas than in the countryside. This forces authorities to invest enormous amounts in expanding, converting and adding to their infrastructure. Sustainable concepts for traffic, for efficient construction, for intelligent energy and water supply are the main challenges, and they can only be overcome with the aid of innovative solutions. Politics, industry, business and science have come to realise that they must work together to implement sustainable urban development that will maintain and improve the inhabitants' quality of life. This worldwide need opens up enormous opportunities for companies in all of the industries dealing with urbanisation and its impact to develop the market with innovative concepts, systems or products. New solutions offer megacities and district towns alike the opportunity to come to grips with their requirements in terms of urban infrastructure.
