What will the next generation of technology look like for green cities?
We’re developing new technologies and architectures around traffic mitigation and environmental dashboards to help cities develop tools to track their carbon footprints. This is a big challenge for cities. For example, many European cities are making carbon reduction commitments, and the biggest challenge is to make sure they can do the actual daily carbon footprint measurements with a tracking system. They need to see what the impact is in terms of reducing GHG emissions that when they make investments in renewables or change some of their traffic processes. Those are some of the things we’re exploring in our next generation of technology. The goal of this is to develop pilots that will be replicable, using an intelligent network and a platform to share what we’ve learned as best practices so these types of innovations can be replicated in other cities. We were proud when, a few months ago, the European Commission recognized the Cisco Connected Urban Development program as a best prac
