FCC
takes part in the seventh edition of the
“Greencities”
Forum of Urban Intelligence and Sustainability
FCC participated in the seventh edition of
the Greencities Forum of Urban Intelligence
and Sustainability which was organised on
5 and 6 October in Malaga. It is one of the
main national meetings on sustainable urban
management based on taking advantage of
new technologies. Other well-known insti-
tutions, authorities, and professionals in the
sector participated in the event.
FCC, which has more than 115 years expe-
rience in providing urban services, is com-
mitted to technological innovation with the
aim of improving the lives of people and of
making cities smart and more sustainable
and socially responsible, respecting their na-
tural habitat and contributing to preserving
the environment.
The Citizen Services Group had a stand at
the congress where it provided information
on its activities in the environmental and
urban services sector. The Company also
participated in the panel discussion on “The
Environment and sustainable urban develo-
pment” with Ignacio Arespacochaga, head
of FCC Medio Ambiente’s Information Sys-
tems and Technology, giving a speech on
behalf and representing FCC.
As an expert on smart cities and a specia-
list in the application of new Information
and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to
smart services, Ignacio Arespacochaga des-
cribed the work carried out by FCC in this
area. One of the most relevant aspects is
the development of VISION, the global ma-
nagement platform of FCC Group’s urban
services.
The presence of FCC at this event reaffirms
its involvement and responsibility in a sec-
tor with which it has been involved since
its inception and demonstrates the great
importance attached by the Environment
Division to the sustainable development of
smart cities.
