The vision of the future of Smart Cities reproduced in the present
Today around 55% of the world’s population lives in cities and it is estimated that by 2050 this figure will reach 68%.
Given that 51% of the energy consumed is used for electricity and transport, it is necessary to create sustainable infrastructures that ensure quality of life and increase economic value.
These pillars are fundamental to preserving the cities of the future, both from an organisational point of view and in terms of improving quality of life and safety.
Over the last two decades, the switch to LED technology has led to a reduction in consumption of around 80 per cent compared to conventional technology.
However, with the increase in population in large urban centers, the use of lighting also increases, promoting significant increases in consumption, which we must combat with other measures without compromising the priority need, which is lighting. The integration of sensors and control systems in lighting allows for an even more controlled and targeted reduction in consumption, without compromising the safety or well-being of the population.
With the increase in population in urban centers, it is also necessary to create structural conditions for sustainable mobility, which ensures transport but at the same time reduces CO2 emissions. The almost mandatory use of sustainable mobility alternatives requires a restructuring of the organization of cities in this sense. The use of electric vehicles, whether individual or collective, is increasingly common and urgently needs to be globalized in metropolises.
It is in this sense that Lightenjin and Lightmobie operate in the field of sustainable cities, working every day for a more sustainable future where future generations can live in harmony.
