The United Nations has officially designated the first Monday of every October as World Habitat Day. This day is set aside for us to reflect on the state of our habitats and it’s a powerful reminder that we all hold the power and responsibility to shape the future of our living spaces.
On 2 October 2023, the Global Observance of World Habitat Day, under the theme “Resilient urban economies. Cities as drivers of growth and recovery,” looks at how cities can position their economies to benefit residents.
The economic development of the urban areas goes hand in hand with tackling the environmental issues in the cities across the world. The surge in urbanization has brought forth a plethora of challenges.
Estimates indicate that cities are accountable for over 70 percent of worldwide CO2 emissions, with transportation and buildings ranking among the primary contributors.
Supporting cities on their decarbonization journey
At Iskraemeco, we are dedicated to build innovative solutions that help cities on their green transition journey. We develop tools that provide opportunities for digitization of the city, introduction of advanced smart city infrastructure, raising the quality of living by improving security of the people and infrastructure, optimizing the consumption of resources, increasing sustainable water consumption, and minimizing the emissions.
Iskraemeco’s smart city approach is an ecosystem of solutions that integrates smart devices, digital technology, services, and people into complex networks that interacts with one another and utilizes data to deliver new value. With solutions for environmentally-friendly transport in our eMobility portfolio, as well as efficient energy and water management, connected in digital platforms, we build solutions that are the backbone of greener infrastructure.
As the demand for smart grid infrastructure continues to rise, we have already provided extensive support to numerous partners, cities, municipalities, and utilities in their efforts to modernize their infrastructure and networks. Our involvement spans a wide range of projects, including contributions to Egypt’s New Republic and the transformation of electricity grids in Zambia and Austria. Our global presence extends to projects in diverse corners of the world.
