As SensorTeam is always willing to join thought processes in dealing with social issues where our sensors can play a key role, we are very pleased to be able to take part in the nationwide “City of the Future” project in the Netherlands. As part of this project, we are partnering with government agencies, architects, and urban planners to find innovative solutions for the urban living and working environment.

We can all see it happening around us: population decline in rural areas as people increasingly move to cities. By 2050, an estimated 70 percent of the world’s population will live in cities. This has major impact on the living environment, as we need to figure out together how to ensure that cities continue to be good places to live and even become better places to live in the future.

Best solutions

And last but not least, our very own Gertjan de Vries, (co-)owner of SensorTeam, will be the team’s smart technologies expert. On behalf of SensorTeam, he will focus on Internet of Things solutions for aspects such as noise, air quality, and traffic flows, generating (real-time) monitoring data that can provide entirely new insights into health-related aspects and functionality and design of cities.

We are extremely motivated and look forward to seeing how the project pans out. We will keep you posted, here and on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
