 Why we need smart cities?
All over the world, concrete steps are being taken to make a special type of city, we call them a smart city.
Smart Cities use new technologies to help them reach their diverse goals more efficiently. Some cities are
being made smarter, and some new cities are being designed to be smart from their very beginnings. The
fundamental of designing a smart city is to provide cost efficient services to their residents and sometimes
goal is to make cities that are attractive from a variety of viewpoints which includes, making of cities that are
both economically vibrant and also environmentally friendly. As environmental and energy problems grow
increasingly severe, and the need for sustainable growth increases, smart cities are becoming more necessary
and more popular.

An international consensus is emerging on creation of Low-

carbon society?
The global warming caused by the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane
by industrial activity has been identified as a major factor in climate change. Through global summits held in
1992 and 2002, and measures such as the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol at the Third Conferences of the
Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1997, steps are being taken
toward establishing mechanisms to encourage a reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases to minimize and
mitigate global warming. The creation of a low-carbon society has become an international consensus and
represents one of the most important challenges facing the development of new cities.

So here in this workshop we will be making various embedded systems which will help us to reduce carbon
footprint by saving electricity(energy) or even help us in controlling of city traffic using technologies like RFID,
one of the basic needs to have a smart city.
