Time is city residents’ most precious resource, which is why Smart Kalasatama aims to manage time efficiently, too. The vision, created together with local residents and other stakeholders, is for everyone to gain an extra hour of free time every day.
Valuable time is spent daily on queuing up, grocery shopping and commuting. Smart services improve both quality of life and time management.
Time will be saved by improving the flow of traffic and logistics, as well as guaranteeing first-rate local services and flexible facilities for remote working. The extra hours can be spent on activities that bring happiness, whether that means relaxing in the local park, cooking with your children, studying or dance classes. The objective is to deliver services to people rather than vice versa, reducing daily commuting.
