Trash is collected only when the bins are full and bus
14、stop signs show exactly when the next bus is coming. The public parks are watered only the soil gets dry.

16、iversity helped a woman create an app that outlines the easiest route for walking with a baby stroller. Another provides information to residents about their water consumption and sends an alarm to their phone if there is a leak.The Santander smart project is attracting the attention of larger cities in Europe and elsewhere that are looking for smart solutions to urban problems.
