Polish cities increasingly smart, though we are far from the world's top

According to residents of Polish cities, modern agglomerations should be characterized above all by affordable and good-quality apartments to buy or for rent, efficient public transportation, and care for the environment, a survey conducted by ThinkCo and Otodom for the report "Innovative cities – living, working and housing of the future" shows. 

"In the latest report, we examined how innovations are implemented in cities today from the perspective of local governments, developers, investors, and end users. The most interesting conclusions were that Polish cities are actually doing very well in terms of implementing innovative solutions even in a pan-European or global context," Przemysław Chimczak-Bratkowski, managing partner of ThinkCo, said.

Polish cities have so far occupied a distant place in the global rankings of smart cities –  most of them consider only Warsaw and sometimes include Krakow and Wroclaw. According to ESI ThoughtLab, a consulting firm specializing in this market, Polish cities are not making any pioneering efforts in the field of smart city solutions, and they perform rather mediocre on a global scale.
