The 19^th was the century of empires, the 20^th was the century of nations and the 20^th is that of cities… as well as in the future. Scholars and scientists of different fields agree on this sentence: urbanists, architects, sociologist, political scientists and also computer scientists believe that, while cities are becoming the nerve centers of our connected world, information technology is producing the impulses to make these complex ecosystems work in the inside and communicate to the outside.

In 2040, according to the World Economic Forum, 65% of world population will live in cities, with the “mega cities” that will be home to most of the people that in their turn will be able to produce 60% of the global GDP.

How can such an articulated structure live without producing chaos, disorder or inequality? The transformation of cities in Smart Cities is the answer: the process is slow but continuous and is providing huge changes.

The natural and urban environments are one of the most interesting fields of application of new technologies based on sensors that are able to detect the level of pollution or water consumption, for example. Security and monitoring of streets and infrastructures, already able to guarantee a certain level of automatism, paved the way to automatic management of energy and other utilities to avoid spoiling precious resources in the city suppling systems.

Arteco already made a step forward focusing on security and providing for solutions that ease the work of monitoring and safeguarding the efficiency.
