Big cities, with their increasing number<br \/>of citizens, are responsible for arising pollution levels as well as a large consumption of energy resources. For this reason, they represent<br \/>the heart of the investment for green tech solutions to nurture a sustainable development and a new government and mobility model.<br \/>We have been talking about Smart City for years, meant as a set of urban planning strategies capable of optimizing public service, improving<br \/>the quality of life of people and companies and ensuring their interconnection with the surrounding environment and infrastructures.<br \/>Millions of technological tools -communicating with each other and exchanging data- will make the interconnection possible<br \/>and turn into advantageous information for of each of us, in support of better life conditions for the whole population. Green Tech is<br \/>a combination of technology and environment with diverse application areas. From monitoring the emissions from circulating vehicles,<br \/>plants and household to pay-as-you-throw waste management system \u2013to encourage a more sustainable collection; from the<br \/>creation of interactive platforms to provide real time mobility information to citizens, thus limiting the inefficiencies resulting in greater<br \/>pollution and waste of time, to improved road safety with tools ensuring prompt law compliance and security intervention in case<br \/>of accident. Such a new lifestyle would be not only desirable, but necessary to handle the challenges of a worldwide population that<br \/>will grow to 10 billion in 2050 -70% of which living in big cities- and it could only be reached through significant investments in terms<br \/>of information and technological education.<br \/>This is the main vision of Viasat Group, whose efforts have been focusing on its customers for decades to promote culture, safety and<br \/>efficiency. Three essential pillars for the creation of a sustainable society that can create lasting value in the upcoming years and generate<br \/>progress for all the actors who will take part in the process.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"categoria_news":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A GREENTECH TURNING POINT FOR SMART CITIES - Mediacenter Viasat<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A GREENTECH TURNING POINT FOR SMART CITIES - Mediacenter Viasat\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"By Massimo Getto, Vice President and CFO VIASAT GROUP and Marco Laugero, Controller AFC VIASAT GROUP To reduce the effects of climate change, the European Union has recently provided 100 billion funds and spread a clear message:economy, technology and respect for the environment should not be perceived as antagonists any longer but as harmoniouselements coming &hellip;
