SmartCity by Schneider Electric

Delivering efficient and sustainable urban infrastructures

Cities today cover 2% of the earth’s surface, contain 50% of the world’s population, consume 75% of global energy and give off 80% of greenhouse gas emissions. And cities are growing: by 2050, they will be home to 70% of the people in the world. This means that over the next 40 years we need to provide new urban capacity equivalent to that of the past 4000 years.

As the world wonders how to meet the growing demand for energy and resources, while drastically reducing global carbon emissions, one thing is clear: this challenge will be won, or lost, in the cities. Cities today, all over the world, are faced with congestion, sprawl, power shortages, lack of water, unaffordable public services and many other significant challenges.

To retain or regain their attractiveness and competitiveness and manage their growth in a controlled way, cities need to become smarter: more efficient, more sustainable, more livable.

To help cities around the world meet these and future challenges, Schneider Electric, and its company Telvent, provide integrated solutions combining state-of-the-art hardware, software, and services in all key areas of a Smart City.
