Urban communication infrastructure: where information meets with citizens and urban planning

Massimo Lucchina   Cisco

From traffic congestion management and avoidance, to air/noise/water pollution monitoring, from office and private building planning to larger urbanization expansion, from teleworking to satellite offices and still attracting business...cities authorities are working more and more to use communication technology in order to offer to citizens services and tools for their daily working and leisure life.

Cisco is closely working with leading cities and in collaboration with the Clinton Globla Initiative to demonstrate how broadband collaborative networks and advanced technologies including sensors can transform sustainable cities and offer a platform for future expansion.
