This EnergyBiz newsletter hits right in the spot: the MIT City Science Lab started as a transportation research lab, and expanded to the fields of energy (you need energy storage to operate an electric vehicle), urbanism (adequate planning to reduce travel) and even connected homes (appliances that work with each other according to owner's schedule).
Of interesting note, the MIT folks stopped using the term Smart Cities for their research, the same way as a number of utility vendors stopped using the term Smart Grid. Both terms don't carry much meaning anymore because the possibilities are so vast.
At the end of the newsletter, you will find a download link to this month's issue of Intelligent Utility magazine. Enjoy reading!
