Development of cities is one of the subjects Europe and India should closely cooperate in. The main challenge is to provide the highest possible standard of living to people, which is more and more difficult in today’s expanding metropolises. The concept of „smart cities” presents „future cities” of our dreams. We have to work hard today to make them true – said dr Małgorzata Bonikowska, CIR’s president, in an interview for EURASIA agency during a conference „Smart Cities India 2015” devoted to intelligent cities. Representatives of science, business, think tanks and governments took part in this event.
