Over the last three years, the Ciudad 2020 R&D&i project has developed new intelligent technologies to assist urban resource management and create new services.

The new smart sustainable city model has been developed and tested in partnership with the cities of Malaga, Santander and Zaragoza, Spain and includes an innovative platform featuring new energy, environment and mobility management tools will deliver personalised services to citizens' mobile devices.

Other developments include new intelligent networks comprising sensors, systems for predicting and controlling energy consumption and air pollution, and tools for recommending best practices or optimal routes in the city.

These and other tools developed as part of Ciudad 2020 exploit the information obtained from municipal infrastructures and citizens themselves, who are now viewed as ‘sensors’ that generate vast quantities of data through their use of different services or social media that share their location, messages and photos.

Led by 509 Indra, the Ciudad 2020 project will unveil its results at the Green Cities & Sustainability Fair and Tikal Forum in Malaga on 2 and 3 October.

    Smart cities must rely on a mobility mix, real-time predictive models and collaborations, argues PTV’s Miller Crockart. Transport is reaching a new frontier and cities are at the forefront of the trend: for many urbanites, mobility no longer equals a privately-owned vehicle.
