Interactive Connected Street
Interactive Connected Street is a project for launching smart and sustainable street furniture to give pedestrians unique experiences. The project entails fostering sustainability in day-to-day city activities, including the deployment of smart sustainable street furniture such as smart light poles and solar-powered benches, sidewalks amongst other creative solutions such as interactive kiosks and screens to make people engage with an eco-friendlier city. Al Madinah’s adoption of such technologies in the public urban infrastructure will enable residents and visitors to charge their devices, use public Wi-Fi, promote recycling, and raise awareness. The street furniture can also be equipped with more greeneries to help reduce dust and heat, while also impacting the overall aesthetic of the city. The Interactive Connected Street’s project can be initially adopted in high-density areas and touristic sites to promote the city brand as a sustainable and eco-friendly urban landmark.
