"Information and communications technologies (ICT) can be deployed to create new, intelligent ways of making our urban centres more resource efficient and reduce their carbon footprint.
Information has a strategic role to play in reducing the carbon footprint of cities. Amalgamating information on city systems means it can be deployed, real-time, to city leaders, allowing them to make decisions about the most effective use of city resources swiftly - - and, ultimately, feed those decisions back to the components of the city: transport providers, energy companies, building owners. Also - - and this is often overlooked - - information can be provided to the city's end users, and through awareness the behaviour change necessary to achieve resource efficiency can be achieved."
