Advanced technological applications that dominate every area of modern life, changing directly the format and organization of the modern urban fabric. Hungary is spearheading the development and export of related applications, software and products for “smart cities” investing significantly in research and development of innovative solutions for improvement of urban organization.
New development models of modern cities, increase demand for natural and artificial resources. The application of innovative technologies in the city organization gives potential energy saving of such resources and sustainable development of urban centres. Technical modernisation, not only make life easier for citizens but also make the cities and their surroundings more clever and humane.
“Smart” movements, “smart” buildings, “smart” networks, “smart” objects, “smart” services, are just some of the aspects of life and of the city organization that have been improved by new technologies. Many of these solutions have already been developed and applied for years in Hungary, which exports the experience and expertise of other countries around the globe.
