Our urban sustainability center may help in that. Even before
it opens its doors, it has created lots of excitement within
Siemens, lots of colleagues are fulfilling the same roles in
other cities and are really looking forward to bringing their
customers to London.
14 Martin Powell
A few people approached me about it in São Paulo, at the
C40 climate summit chaired by Michael Bloomberg, who is
mayor of New York. And they wanted to understand what it
was going to do, how we thought it would benefit London,
and we can use the lessons that come out of this experience
and replicate them elsewhere.

The key attainments to be had from working with London
would be to understand the city ’s targets and drivers. You
really need to put yourself in a city ’s shoes to understand
where it’s going in terms of air quality, buildings, transporta-
tion infrastructure, and then link in our innovative solutions,
so that you have that kind of sustainable intelligent solution.
London Mayor Boris Johnson “It is a clear sign of the confidence in
London’s ability to nurture and support eco-enter-
prises that Siemens has chosen to locate a flagship
center of sustainability here in the UK capital.”
