Said the commissioner for Innovation and the Environment Enzo Lavolta: “The innovative system proposed by Laboratorio in Piazza is a model of efficiency and
service based on criteria environmental sustainability (less energy and less CO2 pollution) which allows significant energy savings but
above all, it makes it possible to use the normal street lighting distribution network to offer new and advanced services to citizens: starting
from information services, thanks to the totem, to wifi, with a thousand other possible functions that can be activated thanks to parallel transmission
energy and data. "
"Laboratory Square - continues Lavolta - it is an integrated multiservice network project that acts as a prototype for the Turin Smart City of the future ”.

The trial of Civic Lab of Piazza San Carlo will serve extremely well to identify which additional innovative services can be implemented through integrations aimed at sustainable mobility, territorial control and primary assets for citizens. A path envisaged by the City of Turin, through its program SMILE (Smart Mobility, Inclusion, Life & Health, Energy) for the improvement of the quality of life of the territory through the rationalization of the available resources.
