<!—more-->Those who decide to drop by London’s Canary Wharf will be able to enjoy the benefits of a new kind of smart street furniture in the world, where they have been specially designed to relieve some of modern life’s daily frustrations – not to mention make our cities ‘smarter’.
A quartet of interactive solar-powered benches will merge in order to deliver somewhere that is nice and pleasant to sit, accompanied by phone charging points ‘on the go’ and local information at one’s fingertips. These local information will include air quality levels, in addition to an emergency call button just in case you suffer from a sudden medical condition. Should the smart benches in London be a success, it will be tested out across cities and business zones in Britain, Europe and the Middle East.
