Creating smarter cities for tomorrow
When engineers re-imagine how cities work, they’re building safer, smarter, and more sustainable cities for the future.
By creating better route connections, engineers are improving accessibility. By incorporating electric buses and light rail trains, engineers are revolutionizing the way public transportation operates in mores sustainable ways. By designing water treatment systems with advanced technologies like membrane filtration and ultraviolet disinfection, they’re helping to provide safe and reliable clean water to more people. And by designing solar-powered compacting bins that use solar power to compact and compress trash, engineers are reducing the volume of waste and helping to create cleaner cities. From improving public safety to creating sustainable solutions for the future, engineers are ensuring cities can be better, safer, and more accessible for people from all backgrounds.
