SUSTAINABLE CITIES/Barcelona - Urban Platform

Barcelona developed the urban platform in 2013 as a new ICT architecture that provides a single, transversal platform that interconnects the entire city. The project was proposed to create a sustainable city model that can manage different resources in an efficient way, including water, public services, temperature regulation, CO2 emissions, civil works, humidity and energy efficiency.

The platform has three components; Sentilo (raw source data), City OS (intelligence component) and Applications (City Council and third parties as output information providers). Thanks to the use of an intelligent process engine that connects different events in real time, emergency situations can be anticipated and responses from different services coordinated in a more efficient and expedited way.
