CitiCAP Expert Journal: testing the Personal Carbon Trading Scheme
Phillip describes in detail how the project managed to win the first award of the Gitex 2019 Smart City series (biggest technology exhibition in the Middle-East).
In Philip’s words, the next challenge will be to scale up the PCT and make significant progress on the cycle superhighway, which has experienced some delays. According to Phillip, a positive signal is that more businesses are engaging in the PCT which will help to reach out to even more citizens.

Overall, performance can be seen to be improved when compared to previous Journals! Read through to find out why!
