Smart Cities Technology
-
Researching, developing, and applying new technologies to help solve problems in our growing urban areas
Our mission at VIP Smart Cities is to promote urban environmental justice by researching and developing new technologies as well as identifying existing issues through the use of data collection and analysis.
Our current projects focus on the areas of sustainable energy generation and distribution, environmental air quality sensors, and urban mobility analysis.
This project-based course consists of research teams that design and prototype technological innovations to address the needs of innovative urban environments. Through data collection and analysis of this data, students aim to improve the current quality of life of city inhabitants and help ensure the increased efficiency of urban environments.
