Programme Highlight
Nowadays, the world is always talking about
smart cities. Most governments and stakeholders are striving to make their
cities smart. Most attentions have been paid on IT, robotics, communications,
artificial intelligence etc. However, little attention has been paid on our
environment and especially on waste management. The more modern is our cities,
the more wastes will be generated. Hong Kong
is one of the typical examples. Modern, efficient and hygienic way of waste
collection becomes more crucial to a nice and comfortable living environment in
smart cities.
