London
درباره این ویدیو
Over the last two decades, London has made important strides towards being a smart city, including:
• Data
Already, London is leading the way when it comes to citizen data. TfL has a large database on transport that is publicly accessible. In combination with AI and the Internet of Things, more databases will enable deeper insights into local economies, air quality, mobility, and energy consumption across the city.
The London Datastore is a key element of the smart city strategy, offering every Londoner free access to information and statistics relating to the city.
•Transport
All of these smart city technologies are now part of London’s everyday life. This is most evident in transport: People will check into buses and underground trains with their phones or even their smartwatches, there is curb-side electric vehicle charging in many streets, and mobile apps promote healthy walking routes around the city.
In 2019, London created a restricted Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) in the city centre, which is set to expand across the whole city in August 2023.
• Security
5G networks provide vast amounts of real-time data and allow for quick data processing, which helps in traffic monitoring, policing, and law enforcement. A large network of sensors, cameras, drones, and robotics helps to keep the city safe.
• Environment and green energy
The smart city technologies in place in London also play an important role in the city’s goal of achieving Net Zero by 2030: By monitoring traffic and tackling congestion, air quality in London is improving drastically.
London is also looking for innovative ways to create greener energy.
• Citizen participation
City Hall is also working towards a future city with more opportunities for public engagement, for example through the Talk London engagement series, the Make London crowdfunding campaign, the Planning Datahub, or the High Streets Data Service with information on neighbourhood economies.
