3. Key drivers for convergence of traditional city
infrastructures and ICT technologies
Society and cities are changing fast
- Resources challenges (water, electricity, oil)
- Transportation challenges induced by fast growing urbanization (traffic
congestion, provision of parking space, heavy investments required in road or
public transportation capacities)
- Difficulties in a context of crisis : need to do more with less in crisis economies
- Environmental issues, which require new models
- Change of consumer behaviors (moving from ownership to services models, ie
car sharing)
A variety of ICT technologies are now avalaible
- Massive move of telecom usages from voice to data requiring massive
investments in high capacity networks (fiber, 4G)
- Very fast development of M2M technologies in the past years, soon more devices
connected than humans.
- Increasing end users demands for real time connectivity
- Major smartphone detention
- Development of social networks and of crowd sourcing

part in a remote work centers initiative
