Water Management System
Water management in cities includes a number of critical and interrelated services:
1. Collection, treatment & distribution of drinking water
2. Removal, treatment and disposal or reuse of wastewater
3. Removal, treatment and disposal or reuse of rainwater (stormwater)
4. Protection of people and critical facilities from flooding.
The Grid Electricity System
Energy is fundamental for life in cities and is essential for water & wastewater treatment and distribution; train, tram and metro networks; communications; medical and emergency services; lighting, heating, ventilation and security.
The grid electricity system includes 3 primary activities:
1. Generation,
2. Transmission,
3. Distribution and supply.
The Transportation Network
The transportation network is a highly diverse system, composed of fixed assets (roads, railways, bridges, ports) and moving parts (trains, buses, cars, boats and bicycles).
Both must be operational to enable the network to function also in case of emergency. Diversity provided by multi-modal services and systems can help during unexpected system outages. Successful navigation is facilitated by integrated travel information.
Building Systems
Buildings house the infrastructure required to bring energy and water to consumers, and provide the destination points for most transportation systems.
In emergency situations where buildings remain safe, structurally sound and energy supply is maintained, technology can help to maintain occupant comfort and distribute information about emergency response. To minimize large scale disruption in IT services, safe, resilient and energy efficient data centers are essential.
