UIC Barcelona with the City Council of Calonge and Sant Antoni is organising a parallel event with the Smart City Expo World Congress, which will take place 17 November at the Gran Via - Fira de Barcelona in L’Hospitalet.

Under the title “Optimising Mobility & Resources through Public Smart-Tech,” a space for debate on the new technological paradigm between the public and private domains that we find in urban areas, with the aim of discussing the present and the future of this area. The event will present specific cases and innovative proposals, such as the Municipality of Calonge and Sant Antoni, for example, which has become a paradigm of the technical management of urban density, and its implications for the optimising municipal resources through smart-tech technology. Several success stories and projects from the smart cities sector will also be presented internationally, and the winning projects from the 1st edition of the Smart Design Business Challenge held at the Castell de Calonge on 8 October will be announced.
