6 Smart City – Implementation Strategy

Present and future Smart City developments should give answers on a wide variety of present social, political and technological problems. Green and long-lasting solutions are needed in coming 10 years and beyond on areas as green and long lasting solutions for improving air quality, quality of life of residents in cities, traffic congestions and many more. Two Conasense branches, established in China and in India, report in 6 book chapters on initiatives needed to overcome the obvious shortcomings at present. Four more chapters complete this fifth Conasense book: an introductory chapter concerning Smart City from Conasense perspective, a chapter on Business Model Ecosystems for Smart Cities, a chapter showing that not technology but the people in the cities are most important and a chapter on recent results and prospects of “Human in the Loop” in smart vehicular systems.
