The city of the future: Smart and social
This means things like urban planning, administration, energy supply, mobility, etc. are networked and work together, so to speak. Intelligent streetlights respond to movement, smart buildings help save energy, car sharing is commonplace, electricity comes from photovoltaic systems, and much more. Smart city also means sustainability and environmental friendliness. Artificial intelligence is at the heart of this, so that the optimum can be achieved in all areas. But this same AI that is already playing an increasingly important role in more and more areas of life, raises fundamental social and ethical questions.
