Smart street lighting has the potential to save cities up to 80% on their electricity bills. It’s a fundamental, but often overlooked, feature of smart cities. And the growth potential of the sector is huge, making it an attractive investment for a real assets portfolio.
PAT Perspectives is the podcast where we ask our guests just five simple questions on one topic or trend impacting the real assets sector. 
In this episode we hear from Jose Martinez, a Director at PATRIZIA Infrastructure, on how this seemingly simple solution is instrumental in creating connected, more efficient cities, improving the lives of citizens.
Host Ed Whittaker asks Jose why institutional investors should be deploying capital into this asset class, how Europe’s regulatory environment is supporting the growth of the sector, and how smart street lighting fits within the theme of smart city investing.

Electric vehicles (EVs) will become the norm on our roads in future, with regulations and sustainably minded companies driving this shift. By 2040, experts predict that at least 75% of global car sales will be fully electric. Yet, as the demand for EVs increases, the infrastructure to support this surge is struggling to keep pace, presenting opportunities for investors.
In this episode, we explore the crucial role EVs play in decarbonising our streets, what is needed to cement the EV revolution, and what the roads of the future will look like. We introduce you to Numbat - a cleantech start-up pioneering ultrafast EV charging solutions -  and its innovative charging stations. And we tell you about PATRIZIA’s entry into the EV charging sector, in partnership with Numbat and Tegut - a supermarket chain in Germany, via its new investment platform, Corymbia.
Your host is Andrew Belt and on the panel we have:
Martin Schall, CEO of NumbatAnne Grandin, Senior Director at PATRIZIA Infrastructure

With tenants increasingly desiring sustainable buildings, governments adopting legally binding net-zero carbon targets, and rising concerns around embodied carbon, decarbonising our building stock is essential - and the risks of not taking action are immense.
In this episode, we explore how decarbonisation programmes can protect or enhance the future value of an asset, how adopting a sustainable approach can help avoid stranding risks or erosions in value known as ‘brown discounts’, and why, ultimately, this is the right thing to do. We discuss the best ways of decarbonising an asset, including the benefits of retrofitting versus demolition. And we hear real world examples of both successful decarbonisation projects, and those that have failed to keep pace.
