SEVILLA is paving the way for the cities of tomorrow, despite being one of Spainโ€™s most historical hot-spots.

A multimillion euro venture between mobile phone provider Vodafone and technology giant IBM will see the Andalucian capital transformed into a โ€˜smart cityโ€™.

The installation of intelligent services will ensure the effective management of city resources, from building design to security.

The cityโ€™s emergency and utility services will also receive a boost from the โ‚ฌ243 million investment in intelligent hardware.
