Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system(远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators(自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.
The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.
About 75％ of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, head of a research company.

你愿意住在这样一个城市吗？在那里，建筑物会为你关灯，自动驾驶汽车会自己找到最近的停车位。虽然这听起来可能离你有点遥远，但住在这样一个“智能”城市可能会比你想象的更快成为现实。
我们生活了几个世纪的城镇发生了巨大的变化，同时全新的城市也正在建设中。松岛市就是这样一个地方。那里的每个家庭都会有一个“远程呈现”系统——用户可以控制供暖和门锁，参加视频会议，还能接受教育、医疗保健和政府服务。在城市各处，自动扶梯只有在有人乘坐时才会运行，办公楼和学校都将与该系统相连。
松岛市的伟大构想来自思科公司。事实上，全球各地的科技公司，如国际商业机器公司、西门子公司和微软公司，都已经涉足这一领域。
到2050年，全球约75%的人口将居住在城市中，因此城市需要更加现代化以应对即将到来的问题。“让城市变得更智能是一条出路，我认为这反过来会让城市变得更环保，”一家研究公司的负责人丹·希尔说。
