Research and Markets: Australia - Smart Cities, Smart Infrastructure - 2012Sep 27, 2012 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- M2 PRESSWIRE-27 September 2012Research and Markets: Australia - Smart Cities, Smart Infrastructure - 2012 (C)1994-2003 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/tm2p7n/australia_smart) has announced the addition of the "Australia - Smart Cities, Smart Infrastructure" report to their offering. The concept of smart communities is based on intelligent infrastructure such as the National Broadband Network, smart grids and other smart infrastructure so that connected and sustainable communities can be developed. Developments such as the Internet of Things will play a key role in facilitating this development. However, before these smart communities can be built, trans-sector policies and strategies need to be developed. They can't be built from the current silo structure that dominates our thinking; but require a holistic approach which includes environmental issues such as self sufficient energy buildings, energy exchanges for renewable energy and e-cars, delivery of e-health, e-education, e-government services as well as digital media and internet services. This report discusses and provides examples of some of the early developments taking place in Australia. Key Topics Covered: 1. Synopsis 2.
