BBC Click Program on Smart City and the Future of Modern Urban Transport

Thanks to special applications and Internet resources, we can update the schedule of public transport at any time today, get directions for trips or find a place in the parking lot.


The volume of this information is constantly growing, making the question more and more relevant: how to ensure its transfer between different systems, to make it more universal and accessible?

The solution of such issues is one of the steps towards the creation of a “Smart City” with a more developed infrastructure, including not only the transport connection itself, but also the information field of the metropolis, security system, etc. ... Much has already been done in this direction, and, possibly , very soon, the active introduction of modern solutions and technologies in areas such as transport will make it possible to bring the concept of Smart City to life.

BBC News correspondent Spencer Kelly tells about how the urban transport infrastructure is developing today, and what the look of the metropolis will be like in the near future, in a report from Dublin for the Click program.
