4. So, what will it be like? (In my view)
• Maximum efficiency in
usage of resources
• Eco-Friendly energy
production & usage
• Automated driving – No
Car accidents
• Faster and economic
transport
• Collaborative databases
between private and
public entities for better
management of the
citizen information
6. Energy & resource management
The main changes regarding this aspect will happen around the
following aspects:
• Electricity
• Water recycling
• Air Quality
7. Homes will use
materials in their
infrastructures that
provide renewable
energy such as solar or
eolic power
Energy Harvesting & Recycling in Homes
Each home will have
internal batteries which
will be made of advanced
materials such as graphene
or magnesium to improve
the capacity and usage of
energy
This icon represents a device
that harvests energy
1
Energy can be used
to light the huose,
cook or power other
devices
3
Excess of energy will
recycle into the
homes batteries, for
instance temperature
of cooking
4
2
If the home needs
of more energy, it
can use energy of
the city external
power grid
5
• The main source of this energy will be renewable
• Energy will be produced and used by buildings harvested from thermo,
motion and solar sources.
8. Water recycling
Water will be recycled from drainage systems to agricultural purposes,
taking advantage of the nutrients contained in the water for plants
The following chart represents this example:
Water from
residential areas
flow into a plant
1
Plant to remove
only non degradable
materials, such as
paper and plastics
2
Water flows trough
drip irrigation into
crops, making use of
natural nutrients.

9. Air quality
Air quality in this city would be better for
two main reasons:
• Vehicles would be mainly powered by
electricity, reducing air pollution.
• Air purifying devices would be part each
of vehicle. So instead of polluting, cars
will purify the air.
11. Transportation
Regarding transportation there would be two big changes that will
improve the security and speed of transportation:
• Smart Car Grid & Automated Driving
• Connection between big cities with hyperloop
12. Automated Driving
• Most of the cars would be
electric and driven automatically.
• Cars will be connected to a
central Monitoring center, which
will coordinate the motion of
vehicles and usage of streets.
Eliminating accidents, traffic
jams and the idle time caused by
delay of human reactions.
13. Cities interconnected with Hyperloop
Hyperloop will connect cities
using pressurized capsules that
float on air travelling at great
speeds
• Nearly 2.5x times faster than
airplane transportation
• Less expensive compared to air
transportation, because it is
power by renewable energies.
15. Public Services & Companies
With the advancement of technology information will be used to
simplify life and provide collaboration platforms
• Stream Analytics & Artificial Intelligence
• Citizen historic information with blockchain
16. Events recognition with Artificial Intelligence
and Stream Analytics.
Cameras will be connected to servers running artificial intelligence to detect patterns of events,
helping to trigger opportune alerts, this information will also provide insights of behavior patterns to
predict and make more efficient the job of authorities.
Cameras stream
data to a command
center and notice
events such as fires,
violence, theft, etc.
1
Data is Processed in real time
according to configured
pattern recognition, mapping
the areas with more problems
2
Automated Alerts
are sent instantly to
the correspondent
authorities

17. Citizen asset management with block chain
The concept of blockchain can be used
to manage any kind of asset and offers
transparency to all stakeholders involved
in providing services related to the asset.
This can provide information that benefit
each stakeholder in the chain, creating
synergy and collaboration.
18. Citizen asset management with block chain (Example)
Imagine your citizen ID was a virtual record that contained all the information of your medical history and there a is a system
that allows you to share this information to who you consider pertinent , For instance, give permission to a doctor to add
changes in your medical history, or pharmacies to keep track of medicine allowed to be supplied to each individual.
In the following chart it is provided use cases of the ID information for different stakeholders:
Citizens
Clinics
Pharmacies
Insurance
Government
Laboratories
ID
Have the portable
version of medic
history to visit any
medical establishments
for second opinions
Can have a complete
background of the
patient, even if it is
the first time visiting
a doctor
Have access to
patterns of health
problems in real
time
Identify the real risk
of providing
insurance to a
specific person
Develop Ad Hoc
Medication
depending to each
patient’s needs
Track the medicines
allowed be sold for
each individual
prescribed by the
doctor
