The new future: Smart Cities

Smart cities are our future. There are many cities who use advanced technology today. Not only cities, but also houses. They include all the up to date technology and gadgets. 

 A smart city is a city that uses information and communication technologies (ICT) to share information with public and improve both the quality of government services and citizens' comfort.

There are many cities that use these kinds of advanced technology. Some of them are:

• Singapore
• Dubai
• Tokyo
• Seoul
• New York
• Taipei
• Oslo

Smart cities use technology to make things better for the people who live there. They have traffic lights that can change when they sense lots of cars and garbage cans that send a signal to the government  when they are full so they can be cleaned quickly.  We need smart cities because they can also be used to sense any climate change and air pollution as well as any crimes or illegal things in seconds.

Baku is not a smart city. However, the technology is very advanced and as a city, it is up to date. As you may know, Baku is the capital city of Azerbaijan. We have smart traffic lights that help the cars go without a traffic jam and smart parking spots that show you where to park with green and red lights. Baku also has smart energy system to save electricity. Smart water systems make sure that there is clean water which will be enough for everybody. All of these make Baku, our beautiful city, a modern city for us to live easily.
