Urbanisation is a trend with no end. It is estimated that up to 66% of all people will live in cities by 2050. At the forefront of potential problems that this may cause are environmental, social and economic sustainability. The smart city is one solution. Wireless connectivity is changing the way we see and control traditional elements in our daily city lives. Streetlights with sensors are able to detect available parking spaces and alert drivers where they not only can park their cars but charge them as well. They can also turn themselves off, saving energy, and turn back on when it senses a car or person in close proximity. High-powered LEDs can alert commuters of traffic congestion and re-route them and, at the same time, provide severe weather warnings. Rubbish bins can send data to the waste management authorities, alerting them to pick up the bins when they are close to full, rather than the inefficient method of a weekly schedule, which may not be needed at all. However, smart cities also come with their drawbacks. One argument against the implementation of smart cities is that it will cause people to become even more reliant on technology and oblivious to their surroundings. It’s quite common these days to have a person walking down the street, staring into their smart phone, unaware of their surroundings. These people cross the street at a red light, bump into strangers or even fall off a ledge marked as off-limits.

Read the passage and decide whether theses statements are True (T) or False (F).

Major cities are facing major crises. The United Nations estimates that by 2050, almost one billion people with disabilities will live in cities, representing 15% of total city dwellers. With urban landscapes awash with inaccessible subways, shops, and bathrooms, the UN has declared that poor accessibility represents a major challenge for cities. At the same time, most cities around the world are struggling to provide safe, respectable, affordable housing for their citizens, with rent accounting for more than 50% of some incomes. The World Economic Forum recently warned that “a world in which only a few can afford housing is not sustainable.” At a time when the future of urbanism is increasingly being defined by new technologies designed to enhance the everyday life of the user, architects and urbanists must remember that a smart city is an accessible city, and also an affordable city. It is important to note that a truly accessible city is one where people of all abilities, incomes, races, genders, and religions can live and thrive in an urban environment centered on the human experience. This is not to suggest that technology does not have a role to play. In fact, as we are about to see, both architects and end-users are being exposed to a wide variety of smart innovations to further advance the cause of universal design, from navigating the city for a wheelchair user, to building homes in urban centers for an affordable housing market.
