Vienna-based European Smart Cities[1] recognises Malaga as a city with a ‘smart environment’, with particular approval applied to ecological awareness and a nod to its clean air quality and sustainable resource management
Malaga has worked hard to burnish its Smart City credentials over the past decade and it has proven especially good at winning interesting projects such as the collaborative electric vehicle (EV) venture between Japan’s new energy body, NEDO and the Spanish Technology Institute, CDTI. This venture was conceived as a response to concern that widespread usage of electric vehicles would place additional pressure on national grids that already struggle to stabilise and streamline heavy demand.
