IEEE CN Smart Cities Pamplona Spain
Join us for an interactive session on Smart Cities Pamplona. Find out why Pamplona is one of the top Smart Cities in the World.
Join us for a Smart Cities Session on Barcelona Spain. Why is this City Smart? The world rankings place Barcelona as one of the top Smart Cities in the World. Find out why today from speakers from this City.
What are Smart Cities?
Briefly said, a smart city is an urban region that tries to fully integrate information and communication technology as well as Internet of things to improve the management of resources & assets, to improve the efficiency of services.
In general, a smart city is very advanced in terms of infrastructure (administration, education, healthcare, public safety, real estate, transportation, etc.) and involves many technologies such as data centres & sensors, being used to improve operations. Smart cities have infrastructures that enables us to collect, aggregate, and analyze data that will help us improve the lives of the citizens.
If you think about it, you can incorporate almost anything that has to do with the management of a city, into the smart city concept. The idea is to provide an efficient solution to actual problems, by using technology. Going from the water management, to clean & renewable energies, to how much space there is to park a car, traffic control, waste management, wireless accessibility. And the list goes on. To improve the functioning of our cities, we’ve got different types of solutions and here are a few examples.
What has improved around the city?
- Around the city, we can find +650 wi-fi hotspots offering free access to everyone.
- When it comes to waste management, the municipal bins monitor the waste levels and therefore help workers when it comes to optimizing their routes.
- Regarding lighting in the street, the lampposts are all LED and can measure noise, traffic, pollution & crowds. By sensing when there is people walking around, it automatically adapts, turning on & off.
- For public transportation, a part from the fact that electric cars and bike sharing are highly encouraged, more and more we find bus stops that are quite interactive. On the electric screen, you can see how much time is left before the bus arrives, charge your phone through the USB charging stations and even use the giant screen to locate yourself on the map and know more about the city.
- When it comes to parking your car, you can use applications that will inform you about the parking availabilities in specific locations.
- For the water management in public areas, we find irrigation systems in the parks that have a strong control on the consumption, enabling workers to know exactly how much water is needed.
Other then taking all those amazing initiatives, we see more and more companies participating in the improvement of the city’s energy consumption while helping the civilians. Here are a few examples;

Smart City Pamplona
Technologies are making our cities smarter - Due to the fact that we are witnessing so many changes regarding the environment and that there are more and more concerns about that matter, the smart city concept has been getting more popular. Another important reason for its success is that it also enables us to make use of energies more efficiently and takes into account social concerns.
But most importantly, smart cities are more or less possible due to technologies and trends as for example automation, machine learning and the internet of things.
Sensors & video authentication technology are used to generate/provide data regarding urban life. The sensors can be used for example for streetlights, traffic signals, water quality, etc. Those technologies are getting cheaper and stronger when it comes to tracking information, therefore more commonly used for monitoring. In fact, the sensors are integrated with real-time monitoring systems, and the data collected is then processed and analyzed.
Over the years, the growth of cloud computing has also had a strong impact on smart cities. In fact, it costs much less to store information on the cloud. Add to that the advancements in machine learning which enable city officials to have strong insights on everything surrounding us. The Internet of Things implies more data, more devices connected, more information.
Barcelona, a smart city.
