Smart Cities
Years ago BMK (formerly BMVIT) started to address the major social challenges presented by urbanization. At national level it has come up with the research and technology development programme "City of Tomorrow", which is meant to improve our understanding of the city as an integrated system and to implement small-scale demonstrations of feasibility.
At international level BMK is involved in the Joint Programming Initiative Urban Europe (JPI Urban Europe). The aim of JPI Urban Europe is to develop a comprehensive, system-oriented perspective on urban challenges, that takes not only technological aspects, but also social, economic and ecological issues into account.
