Abstract—The explosive development of urban areas is a great challenge, but also a great opportunity to develop technologies and services that will profoundly change the way we see and perceive our society. The exponential improvement of our electronics, telecommunication or information technologies, and the lower cost of production, allows us to solve complex challenges and bold leaps in the development of urban areas. This article proposes a solution for integrated utilities, addressing the challenges that come with large telecommunication, water, gas and electricity networks, in order to provide services at a low, reliable and sustainable price. For the future, it is expected that millions of distributed, storage and management power generation systems, but equipped with autonomous intelligence and automation to increase the economy, sustainability, reliability and security of technical-municipal networks.
