IBM and the local authority of greater Montpellier, France, have agreed to create an urban living laboratory to design new urban services for residents and support local leaders' economic development goals. The smart city project, based on an intelligent dashboard from IBM, will involve the Universities of Montpellier 1 and 2, and the Idate research institute on the digital economy.
Its initial focus will be to create an open platform to improve information sharing within the district in areas such as transport, water management, emergency management and mobile commerce.
The technology will be hosted in IBM France's first public cloud data centre. A demonstration centre will be opened later this year, followed by an operations centre in the EcoCite urban development project by the end of 2015.
