Glasgow City Council has become the first authority in the country to receive a grant from IBM's Smarter Cities Challenge programme. The IT company is awarding a total of $50m worth of technology and services to 100 cities around the world as part of the firm's project. Through IBM's Smart Cities initiative we hope to maximise the tremendous opportunities for Glasgow to develop low-carbon energy technologies, ef- ficient homes, the provision of affordable heat and the creation of sustainable communities,' said council leader, Cllr Gordon Matheson.
