The chief of the Australian Smart Communities Association, Laurie Pattton, has called for multi-level government co-operation to help make Australia a world leader in the smart use of technology to improve cities and communities.

“We need every level of government to embrace the smart use of technology to deal with increasing congestion, environmental issues and the many other constraints that are causing people to question the state of modern city living,” Patton said.

“Smart lighting systems that reduce our power needs, smart parking systems, intelligent traffic monitoring, connected garbage bill that alert councils when they’re full. These are just some of the solutions already being deployed around the world.”
