What is a smart city?

A smart city is a city area and people there can use the latest technology to collect information and manage resources. People live a quality life. The environment there is clean and sustainable (可持续的).

Gates bought 25,000 acres (英亩) of land near Phoenix two years ago. He planned to build a smart city with the latest technology, high-speed Internet, and large data centers. The city is named Belmont. It will become one of Arizona’s largest cities.

About 3,800 acres will be used for office and business space. About 470 acres will be used for public schools. Around 80,000 flats will be built.

The project says that about 182,000 people will live in Belmont in the future.

The project also introduces how cities of the future are run, so it is great.

Most people think it is the hardest project. Also, at present no one knows when it will begin, or how much they will spend. Gates hasn’t revealed (透露) any detail yet. But he has already spent more than $ 80 million on the project.
