Hi everyone,
Fans of modern technologies and smart devices will be surely happy to hear that Prague, the capital city of my beautiful homeland the Czech Republic, will soon be ranked among the "smartest" cities in all Europe.

As you have probably noticed by now, however, we are not talking about the smartness of Prague´s residents but about the use of new "smart" technologies applied in public spaces all over the city.
There is even a whole project called "Smart Prague" that focuses on implementation of various modern technologies with the intention of making the life in city more comfortable while being eco-friendly and sustainable. Supported by some of Prague´s most renowned universities and scientific institutions, the project includes numerous new technologies and revolutionary devices such as the smart bins, smart street lights, smart benches etc.

Smart bins are powered by solar energy and they are equipped with automatic internal compression systems that allow the bins to hold up to four times more waste than regular bins. Smart street lamps have motion sensors that switch them on only when someone is passing by, thus greatly reducing power consumption. Smart benches come with built-in power sockets, wi-fi and various sensors that measure air temperature, humidity, pollution etc.
