ICT’s contribution to the development of the sustainable city
In light of the central challenges and issues that cities are currently facing, this report examines the role that ICT can play in the development of the
sustainable city. The analysis draws on examples of eco-Towns, digital cities and high-tech cities. The report identifies new ICT services that apply to the major urban functions and analyses the positioning of the main players.
Key questions
- How do eco-Towns projects incorporate ICT?
- How do digital city projects meet the goals of sustainable urban development?
- Which ICT infrastructure and services can help achieve sustainable urban development?
- What is the positioning of the leading ICT industry players involved in the development of the sustainable city?
- What are some recommended approaches to integrating ICT in a sustainable city project?
