For example, Singapore is harnessing its near-complete fiber-optic network to reduce urban congestion by introducing a spate of measures encouraging workers to telecommute. As these measures take effect, self-sufficient satellite towns will likely develop, reducing transportation-related energy consumption further, while fostering a more active civil society.
信息技术也可以缓解交通系统的压力。比方说，新加坡充分利用目前已接近完工的光纤网络系统，通过引入一系列劳动者远程办公激励举措来缓解城市的交通拥堵。相关措施收效后将可能出现大批自给自足的卫星城，在进一步节约交通能耗的同时培育更积极主动的公民社会。
