United Nations’ Global Sustainable
Development Goal 11 is to make cities and
human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient
and sustainable
The targets
Target 11.2 Target 11.3 Target 11B
By 2030, provide access to
safe, affordable, accessible
and sustainable transport
systems for all.
By 2030, enhance inclusive and
sustainable urbanization and
capacity for participatory,
integrated and sustainable human
settlement planning and
management in all countries.
By 2020, substantially increase the
number of cities and human
settlements adopting and implementing
integrated policies and plans towards
inclusion, in line with the Sendai
Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction
2015-2030, holistic disaster risk
management at all levels.
Why cities matter
Cities are growing: half of
humanity –3.5 billion
people live in cities today
and 5 billion people are
projected to live in cities
by 2030.
Cities provide financial
opportunities as there are
more jobs and types of
employment in the city.
Cities provide access to
healthcare, education,
transportation and other
public services.
Cities enrich our
interpersonal lives as they
connect people and
different cultures, enabling
us to meet new people and
socialise in different ways.
and why we need to rethink their future

Las Vegas Case Study
Goal and focus;
Designed to improve safety, the smart city offering provides information to city
personnel to help increase situation awareness and provide a foundation to traffic
management and mobility that will create future economic opportunities.
Why NTT:
NTT deployed high-definition video cameras, sound sensors, as well as Internet of
Things (IoT) devices to monitor a geographic area within the city’s innovation district.
The solution is a secure, distributed platform that deploys micro data centers to
sensors in the designated area to improve situational awareness through video and
sound data, while also integrating historical data sources, such as crime, weather and
social media data.
By leveraging cognitive analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning
technologies, the system learns normal patterns and can detect and alert the
authorities of patterns that appear abnormal to reduce response times for first
responders.
Solution is built on NTT’s Cognitive Foundation architecture, which enables remote
creation, management and operation of information and communications technology
(ICT) resources, from devices and networks to the cloud.
Las Vegas expands smart city partnership with NTT enabling Las Vegas to meet it’s goal of using IOT, sensors, and analytics to improve
response times to critical incidents, make educated design decisions for the city’s future, and improve overall quality of life for it’s residents.

Pilot - Water Scheduling
Based on Moisture
Content
Utilize IOT sensor to measure ground moisture content. Use
this information to better manage water irrigation within
medians. Additionally, these IOT sensors may better pinpoint
water leaks.

Climate Monitoring - Pilot Utilize IOT sensors to measure particulate and pollution levels Spring 2021
Pilot - Multimodal Traffic
Count
Utilize the City's Traffic Management System and/or IOT
equipment to provide the number of vehicles, pedestrians and
bike traffic that moved through a given area, e.g., intersection,
roadway or trail.
Summer2021
Pilot - Adaptive Traffic
Signaling
Utilize the City's Traffic Management System to test impact of
enhanced adaptive traffic signaling. This will be done through
software modifications and/or the addition of IOT devices such
as intelligent cameras and sensors.

BreezoMeter challenge to California Wildfires
Challange1: Stations are Far Apart
Challange2: Delayed Information
Challange3: Stations Don't Always Report
on Particulate Matter
Challange4: Wildfires Cause Blackouts
and/or Physical Sensor Damage
BreezoMeter’s multi-data and multi-model approach means
we’re uniquely placed to provide accurate information from
numerous data sources such as real-time traffic satellites,
active fires, meteorological input, and more.
Sophisticated smoke model
Satellites that measure different light bandwidths to detect the
presence of fire on earth, the stage of a fire & type of Particulate
Matter that is emitted.
Land cover information to understand the type of vegetation that is
being burned.
Meteorological conditions like rain and wind to learn about the
direction and amount of smoke in a particular area.
Chemical processes that might alter the types of pollutant, and
pollutant levels downwind of a fire.How is BreezoMeter the Only Provider to Capture Live Smoke Information?35
