KAIROS Mobile Summit Barcelona, October 2013

CITY SERVICES / URBAN SERVICES. THE NEEDS (1 OF 2)

Water supply & draining, 100% capillarity Energy distribution

Electricity, 100% capillarity Fuel distribution clusters

Food supply & waste collection Food distribution clusters Waste collection clusters

CITY SERVICES / URBAN SERVICES. THE NEEDS (2 OF 2)

Security (police & firemen & ambulances) Health clusters (hospitals, health centers …) Education clusters (schools, universities …) Mobility management (by feet, by bike, by car) Cultural clusters (theaters, cinemas, museums,

libraries, auditoria…) Social needs
