Smart City Expo Puebla, trigger for smart cities in Latin America

Puebla

It is time to renew the classic perception of urban management and reformulate the measures to be taken to face population growth as expected in the coming years.

The UN estimates that by 2050 75% of the world population will live in urban centers; therefore, it is in the cities where it will face the great challenges of the century, such as climate change, growth and aging population, the obsolescence of infrastructure and consumption of natural resources. In urban areas it generates over 70% of the garbage of the world consume 80% of global energy and 70% of greenhouse gases emitted.

The challenges facing cities today transcend the implementation of current strategies

The basis of a livable city of tomorrow is built with an innovative, smart, sustainable infrastructure and with a conscious and active society.

Smart cities change patterns, consumption habits and the way they interact with the environment. Innovation allows us to build tomorrow's society today with local renewable energy generation, sustainable and inclusive transport, efficient waste management and water; and in all cases the technology to access information interactively in real time, which makes life easier and more accessible.
