School Survey - Stage 1

Smart cities use digital technology, data and innovation to make our lives easier. Some of these smart technologies and ideas include:

• Wi-fi

• Smart environmental meters (e.g. sensors that can detect when the oval needs to be watered)

• Phone applications (e.g. smart phone applications showing up-to-date traffic conditions)

• Real-time data and analytics (e.g. information about how many people attend a football match)

• Open data (e.g. information about your local area - air quality, traffic conditions, humidity)

• Smart street lighting (e.g. street lights that can turn themselves on when there is reduced light outside)

• Drones (e.g. very small unmanned aircraft, which can deliver food)

• Living labs (i.e. a small part of a local city used to trial and test new smart technology)

• Innovation (e.g. the design and creation of a wind turbine to use wind power to make renewable electricity)

• Co-design with citizens (e.g. engaging with the local community to plan how North Sydney can become a Smart City)
