Learn about the successful smart city pilot in Zaragoza, showcasing how data-driven insights led to a significant reduction in carbon footprint and enhanced public space management.
In the global race toward smarter, more sustainable cities, Zaragoza, Spain, has emerged as a shining example of how urban intelligence, AI, and ethical data use can come together to reshape public spaces, mobility, and sustainability. Through an innovative partnership with Eoma Solutions, Zaragoza has embraced cutting-edge, privacy-first technology to elevate its city planning and public safety strategies—without compromising individual privacy.
Rethinking City Planning Through Real-Time Intelligence
Traditional urban planning often relies on delayed, static data that fails to capture the evolving behaviors and needs of citizens. But Zaragoza took a different route. By deploying Eoma’s AI-powered smart nodes across retail areas, plazas, and public walkways, the city now benefits from real-time insights into how people interact with their environment.
These discreet, non-invasive devices anonymously detect signals from mobile devices—without requiring any apps or personal identifiers—to map foot traffic patterns, dwell times, crowd density, and return visits. This live stream of behavioral intelligence is accessible through a simple, natural-language platform, empowering city officials to make faster, more informed decisions on everything from infrastructure investment to crowd control.
Smarter Mobility, Safer Streets
One of Zaragoza’s most impressive accomplishments is its commitment to environmental responsibility. Using data captured by Eoma’s system, the city implemented mobility strategies that reduced its carbon footprint by up to 30%. Real-time visibility into pedestrian flows allowed for improved traffic routing, smarter public transport scheduling, and targeted campaigns to encourage more sustainable movement throughout the city.
In addition, real-time crowd alerts and emergency response optimization have been game-changers for municipal safety teams. Eoma’s system gives first responders exact location data during critical incidents, enhancing the city’s readiness and minimizing response times.
Data-Driven Urban Innovation—With Ethics at the Core
At the heart of Zaragoza’s success is a shared belief with Eoma Solutions: data must be used responsibly. All Eoma technology is built on a foundation of privacy-first design, fully compliant with GDPR-like standards. No personal information is captured. No facial recognition is used. Just anonymous, actionable insights that empower better decisions without infringing on personal freedoms.
This makes Zaragoza a model not only of technological innovation but also of ethical urban transformation—showing cities around the world that it’s possible to embrace the digital future without sacrificing human dignity.

Zaragoza’s deployment of Eoma’s platform has achieved impressive results, including:
- Over 90% tracking accuracy across more than 15,000m²
- Real-time municipal alerts for crowd management
- Accurate visitor segmentation (new vs. returning citizens and tourists)

These achievements underscore Zaragoza’s role as a global pioneer in smart city planning—leveraging data, AI, and human-centered design to create a city that is more responsive, sustainable, and resilient.
