초급 시사영어 독해 - 미래의 도시: 스마트 시티

오늘의 영어 리딩

Many cities around the world are working to become "smart cities." A smart city uses new technology to make life better for people. This technology can help with traffic, energy, and safety. For example, traffic lights that change automatically help cars move smoothly. Smart cities also use sensors to save energy by turning off lights when no one is around. Many people think smart cities are good because they help the environment and make cities more fun to live in. But some people worry about privacy and data safety. As technology gets better, more cities want to become smart cities in the future.
