The regional secretary for Innovation and Digital Transformation, Jordi Juan, met this morning in Dénia with the mayor, Vicent Grimalt, and the councilor for Modernization, Paco Roselló, to inform them of the next lines of subsidies related to innovation and the digital transformation of municipalities. Aid that, as explained, will be granted to municipalities that have a municipal Innovation Plan.
In this sense, the regional secretary has been able to verify the work that is being carried out in Dénia. As the municipal representatives have indicated, the "Dénia Smart City" Master Plan is currently in the process of being drawn up, which will constitute the roadmap to define a strategy that also seeks to position the city as a Smart Tourist Destination.
The planning process for the conversion into a smart city or smart city has already begun, working in recent months on projects such as the implementation of a sensor system to detect free parking spaces, self-regulated traffic lights or a leak detection system for Water; In addition to including in the bidding documents for the city's waste collection and urban cleaning service, which will be fully approved tomorrow, conditions related to this conversion, such as the incorporation of smart sensors to the waste collection containers that inform the company when they reach 80% of the capacity to plan the emptying.
If you cannot think of an urban planning plan for Denia equipped with services for citizens, improvement of infrastructures, cleaning of streets, lots, parks and avenues. Sewage system, lighting, public transport, waste collection etc. But especially the sewage system because it does not exist, where are they going with this smart city nonsense? Basically they will take the grant money and distribute it to the usual people.
