Climate change a top goal for smart cities by 2020: Gartner
Half of smart cities will put climate change, resilience, and sustainability as their headline key performance indicators by 2020 predicts Gartner, in line with targets set at the Paris climate talks last year. Smart transport systems are expected to go some way to cutting the pollution generated in cities, with initiatives such as ride sharing and electrification of public transit systems being major factors in this change. It is predicted that sensors will form the basis of new developments in smart city infrastructure, with 380 million connected devices in operation by the end of 2017 with the sole aim of boosting sustainability.
