Matthew Britt, GM, Smart Cities, Honeywell, said smart and sustainable city solutions can deliver on sustainability and resilience goals, at the Honeywell event, Charlotte, USA.
Cities are however, strained! Increasingly, residents are too! 55% of the world’s population lives in urban areas. That’s expected to increase to 68% by 2050 – an increase of 2.5 billion people. By 2030, the world is projected to have 43 megacities, with more than 10 million inhabitants each. Demand for water is forecast to drastically outstrip supply in multiple cities in India, China, Africa, and the Americas by 2030. Cities of the future will soon account for 90% of world’s population growth, 80% of carbon emissions, and 75% of energy consumption.
