About

Gran Canaria is advancing the sensorisation of high-pressure tourist areas such as Maspalomas to improve environmental monitoring and the management of visitor flows. This approach allows real-time data collection on key variables, supporting better decision-making in highly sensitive and dynamic environments.

Building on this experience, the island is integrating these digital tools into broader resilience strategies, linking smart monitoring with climate risk management, including flood control and extreme weather events, within a comprehensive smart territory framework.
