Smart cities
A smart city is a city endowed with an organization based on the technologies of the information and communication society, focused on improving both the management of the different services and the quality of life of its inhabitants. Although at the beginning it was a typical urban aspiration, more and more people are opting for projects that guarantee equity in access to quality services to all citizens of a territory, regardless of the size of the place where they reside.
These are the services that our research groups can develop. For customized information on the services, please contact us.
