European smart cities roadmap

European Initiative on Smart Cities

Glasgow, Scotland’s second largest city, will be the Future City demonstrator, a £24m smart city project to provide real-time information about traffic and apps to check that buses and trains are on time.

Part of the European Initiative on Smart Cities, this project is to demonstrate the feasibility of rapidly progressing towards energy and climate objectives at a local level while proving to citizens that their quality of life and local economies can be improved through investments in energy efficiency and reduction of carbon emissions.
