“Cities around the world are looking to technology to make their cities smarter and more sustainable. From smart grids, urban wind power, geothermal energy and smart lights, the modern city is becoming greener, more connected and aware of the importance of sustainable infrastructure for growth,” wrote Jennifer Kite-Powell in an article published by Forbes Magazine.
