A survey conducted by EON from the Ipsos agency shows that only 19% of Czechs are familiar with the term Smart City. This is a concept that uses digital, information and communication technologies to improve the quality of life in cities. It also focuses on reducing energy consumption or optimizing transport. It is newly introduced in Prague and Třinec.
"People from Prague, university students and people between the ages of 25 and 34 are most familiar with the concept of Smart City. A full 50 percent of respondents do not associate the Smart City concept with any specific city in the Czech Republic. 25 percent of people remembered Prague and five percent remembered Brno," EON spokesman Vladimír Vácha said about the results of the survey.
