To develop Hong Kong into a world-class smart city, the Government will progressively install about 400 multi-functional smart lampposts in the next three years in four urban locations to enhance the collection of real-time city data.
 
     The first 50 smart lampposts are expected to come into operation in Kwun Tong and the Kai Tak Development Area before mid-2019.
 
     News.gov.hk spoke to smart lamppost developers and a representative from the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation to learn about how smart street lighting can help enhance the city's liveability.
 
     The story appears on news.gov.hk today (October 7) in both text and video format.
